About Me

I was born in Mexico City, Mexico and moved to San Antonio, Texas at the age of two. I stayed pretty close to home and graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio in 2022 with a major in Communication and double minors in Sport Management and Political Science. When COVID-19 forced all 18 sports to happen in the spring of 2021 at Trinity, I hopped on a broadcast just to help out. Well, I fell in love and went on to do play-by-play broadcasting for over 150 games across the five sports of basketball, baseball, beach volleyball, football, and indoor volleyball. My broadcasts included Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament (SCAC) Tournament games, the Southland Conference Beach Volleyball Championships on ESPN + and NCAA Playoff games. I most recently worked at the California Winter League in Palm Springs, California. You can see my work under my “Broadcasting Reels“ tab.

Broadcasting was a huge part of my time at Trinity, but it was far from the only thing I did. I was the public relations intern for Trinity University working for the school’s PR manager. In my role, I worked directly with her writing press releases and stories, monitoring news clips and communicating with the media among other things. Public relations can be hard to summarize, but for nearly two years, I worked daily to help shine the best light on Trinity. The two biggest projects I worked on included creating a PR plan for Trinity’s announcement regarding their reclassification as a National Liberal Arts College, and the opening of Dicke Hall on campus. My “Public Relations & Writing Portfolio“ tab showcases some of the various work I did as a PR intern.

Before jumping into PR and broadcasting, I was the Sports Editor of the Trinitonian newspaper at Trinity for two years. As Sports Editor I managed up to four reporters ensuring they wrote weekly stories ahead of our publication deadline. I edited their work, laid out stories for print using Adobe InDesign and communicated with photographers to obtain pictures or illustrations for every story. In the spring of 2021, I also helped the newspaper transition to an all-digital publication once the COVID-19 pandemic made printing a newspaper unreasonable. In the fall of 2021, I moved on from the Trinitonian to more deeply explore new roles with Tiger Network and in PR.

Upon graduating from Trinity, I began a job as a Public Relations Assistant with the San Antonio Missions during the 2023 season. This role perfectly blended my love for broadcasting and PR. I worked at the ballpark during home games and worked on game notes for broadcasters, coordinated interviews with the media, wrote game stories for the website and interacted with the team in both English and Spanish among many other things. Being so close to the broadcasters also allowed me to keep learning and preparing for future broadcasting opportunities.

After the season ended with the Missions, I hopped on as the Marketing Coordinator with the Valero Alamo Bowl. After three years of volunteering with the bowl on top of completing my Communication Capstone with them, they hired me on for this official role. Some of my duties included overseeing game production, running our advertising and social media campaigns and managing our creative content creators along with assisting with PR responsibilities as the game between Arizona and Oklahoma neared.

A week after the 2023 Valero Alamo Bowl, I made my way to Palm Springs, California to broadcast for the California Winter League (CWL). The CWL is a premier destination for free agent baseball players who are looking to be scouted and signed, and I got to broadcast two games per day for about a month as over 160 players showcased their skills in games between eight CWL teams. Additionally, I helped prepare the ballpark for games every day, wrote postgame stories and marketed the league at events such as Palm Springs Village Fest. A reel including highlights and two half-innings of play from the CWL can be found on my “Broadcasting Reels“ tab.

Entering high school, I had the wonderful opportunity to be a kid reporter for Sports Illustrated Kids for two years. Over my two years with SI Kids, I covered many events including a San Antonio Spurs game, a Houston Astros game and the United States Olympic Swim Team Training in San Antonio. Overall I published over 30 articles for SI Kids, and I have put all those articles in one place under the Sports Illustrated Kids tab of my blog. I welcome you to read through my coverage as a Kid Reporter!

When I was five, I fell in love with the Baltimore Orioles, and I desperately wanted to see a game in Baltimore. After seven years of begging, I finally convinced my family to drive to Baltimore to watch the Orioles in Camden Yards in 2012. On that trip we saw four games in Baltimore, but because we drove, we also saw games in Washington, Philadelphia and Atlanta along the way. I enjoyed that trip so much that I developed a goal of visiting all 30 Major League Baseball ballparks. After seven cross country road trips across seven summers with my family, I have now been to a game in all 30 Major League ballparks! But we weren’t done there. We continued our travels to now 35 Minor League Baseball stadiums and countless baseball landmarks such as the Field of Dreams in Iowa and the Negro League Baseball Museum in Kansas City. I have written in journals on each one of my road trips, and these are stories I want people to read. Our adventures as a family have been unforgettable, and I have written a post detailing our experience along with pictures in each stadium under the Ballpark Chasing tab on this blog. These have been the highlights of my life, and I can’t wait for people to read about our adventures on the road. I hope to one day publish a book capturing the magical moments my family I have experienced on these road trips.

On top of these collections, this blog is an outlet for my takes on current events in the sports world. After all, this blog started as a way for me to vent about the Orioles when my family was tired of hearing me complain, so it is only right that I continue to provide my opinions on the ever-changing world of sports.
