I was fortunate to complete my Spring 2025 senior Capstone with the Syracuse University Athletic Communications office, helping with winter and spring sports while continuing to compete for SU’s Rowing team. This unique opportunity allowed me to experience both sides of college athletics, as I worked with student-athletes while being one myself.
I assisted with graphics and content for various social media channels, authored numerous articles and feature stories, assisted with research projects, and helped with accurate live statistics and media content during games and live events. The mix of in-office and game-day tasks exposed me to a variety of practical and intangible skills that shaped me into a better sports professional.
My favorite part of the Capstone was crafting a series of short-form interviews of student- athletes for SU’s Men’s Rowing team’s Instagram account. Having the opportunity to blend my work with my passion for rowing and bond with my teammates was a unique privilege only made possible by this Capstone. The interviews stand as a tangible reminder of the special bond between Falk College and SU’s athletic department.
I am forever grateful to the Athletic Communications staff and my Falk College professors for the Capstone opportunity of a lifetime. I am blessed to take the skills I learned during my Capstone into a role with the Chicago Bears as a Football Communications Seasonal Assistant.
