13. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Mentor
• I’m open to more Sports Media mentors to help with my development
on screen and off screen. While also helping to perfect my journalism
and unique style. I have mentors that I shadow that are CEO’s of
sports agencies, tech, business, and entertainment companies. Their
lifestyle and missions are usually more than just having a standard 9
to 5. The mentors I look up to usually have higher callings and are able
to create their days however, while still being ef
fi
cient with planning
and getting the missions completed successfully.
