WPTS-FM Pittsburgh

92.1 FM was my spiritual home for the most of my colleigate career and the space where most of my practical exploration of sports media took place. From joining the staff within days of arriving on campus, to growing as an assistant station manager overseeing & overhauling our social media presence and finally managing the sports department during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, WPTS is the backbone of who I became today.

Content includes clips from web publishing, podcasts, game recaps and, of course, plenty of play-by-play on the student home for Pitt Sports.
