The 'Other Sporty Writing' page introduces a few essays I wrote last term during LSA's theme semester 'Sport and the University' where I was in English 242, "Twenty Two Ways to Think About Sport," as well as Education 212, "The History of Intercollegiate Athletics," both with Professor John U. Bacon. The 'Other Writing' page features multimodal compositions I have completed in the form of magazine covers and a complication of my creative writing class's work. 

 

Finally, the 'Capstone Project' page showcases my Sports Illustrated -styled magazine piece (Passion, Pitfalls, and the Pursuit of Excellence) that seeks to explain why we care so much about sport. If you were to read only one piece from beginning to end in my entire porfolio, this would be it!  It was a pleasure to work on and develop throughout the semester, and I hope you will enjoy it. 

 

Outside of sports, my next greatest passion is that of traveling and experiencing new places. My favorite mode of traveling is cruising, where life on board exists as a mini-community from people all over the country. I've been on six so far that have taken me to many islands of the Caribbean as well as Bermuda and cities along the East Coast. Cruising is especially relaxing and joyous, and I cherish the many memories I create with passengers onboard. However, coming home is inevitable and necessary, where I get to work on exciting endeavours such as this portfolio you are about to read.
