My internship with NFL Media began in May 2018. It was the first major media company I worked for and my first time in California.

After over three months with the NFL, I was hooked.

I spent time working with the staff in the newsroom, helped out some of the NFL Fantasy writers and then traveled out to training camps and preseason games to cover the Los Angeles Rams, Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Chargers. The experience was remarkable – both professionally and personally.

I spend the next eight months determined to get back out there. The next summer, I was able to secure a full-time position for the summer of 2019 before my final year at Quinnipiac. The job was similar, but with more experience came much more responsibility. I was trusted to write more in-depth pieces and cover more camps. This allowed me to be more creative as a writer and to pick and choose my spots. Obviously there were certain storylines that I had to cover at camps, but I was given more freedom to write about topics I found intriguing.

Included here are my articles (from both stints) at training camps, minicamps and news stories from my days in the office.

Cowboys TE Rico Gathers eager to log game experience in '18

OXNARD, Calif. -- It's difficult enough to play one sport at a collegiate or professional level. Cowboys tight end Rico Gathers is ramping up to play his second.

Gathers, who is entering his third season with the Cowboys, has yet to play in a regular season game. He'll be the first to tell you that he hasn't yet accomplished all of his goals in professional football.

"[Preseason's] been my only real game experience," Gathers said after a walkthrough Monday. "I haven't made it to the regular season yet, but looking forward to doing so this year."
