Hi, I'm Sarah!
Currently, I'm pursuing a master of science in journalism with a specialization in sports media from Northwestern University's Medill School. Prior to Medill, I graduated from Northeastern University's College of Arts, Media, and Design in May 2024 with a BA in journalism and English, and dual minors in public relations and sports, media, and communication.
Originally from the Chicago suburbs, I grew up stealing my mom's laptop to write my own fiction stories and transitioned to journalism as a junior in high school. The first article I ever wrote was a sports feature, and I haven't looked back since.
During undergrad, I worked for both the Boston Globe and Northeastern University Athletics Video Production, both in roles focused on storytelling in sports., and after those experiences ended, she stayed in both positions in a part-time capacity while continuing her degree full-time. Options for sports-related journalistic or writing course options were lacking, but I opted to fill in the gaps where I could, picking up the sports, media, and communication minor, and developing a deeper understanding of a new side of the sports world. After spending my senior year at Northeastern working with two mediums in sports, I affirmed my passion for written coverage and reporting, and knew I wanted to continue improving my skills as a sports writer.
I was selected as a Boston Globe intern for the 2024 summer, where I worked once again with the sports department, but in a different capacity than my previous co-op or part-time work. As a Globe intern, I had the opportunity to cover numerous in-person events across the sports world and across New England. Spending time learning from journalists with different experiences and expertise was truly invaluable, and I ended my time with the Globe even more eager to fulfill my future dreams of becoming a professional sports reporter.
