Chapter two of my internship was a whirlwind of new cities, sports, experiences and lots of growth. 

Chapter two begins with ten days in Vegas covering Mountain West Basketball Championships. Such great reps covering basketball and my first time using remotes in basketball. Also got to drive around on a race track!

Then, back in Denver for a few days covering more DU hockey (See ya later at the national championship!)

I began the NCAA championship season in Philadelphia at NCAA DI Wrestling Championships. I got to work with an amazing team covering three days of wrestling for the first time. It was some of the most fun I have had on assignment. It was so visual in a grueling way but also carried bits of visual humor for me as I found myself saying things like “Wow, how is his foot and his face there at the same time?” Donald Trump also made an appearance. 

During three days back in Denver, I got to cover two Nuggets games for Getty. It was a great experience to photograph the NBA for the first time!

From there I went to Atlanta where I covered the South region’s Sweet 16 and Elite 8 of the men’s March Madness tournament. It was wonderful to cover such high intensity games that carried such emotion for the athletes and fans. In Atlanta I conquered my fear of heights and climbed a very tall ladder to set up my first shot clock remote camera, which I was quite excited to try. I then went to San Antonio where I helped cover the Final Four week with an incredibly talented team. Photographing basketball in a football stadium was really special. The space added such depth of field and the energy was super high. 

The month finished out with a trip to St Louis for the Frozen Four - NCAA DI Hockey Championships. I got to contribute multimedia and fan experience content for the NCAA which was great added experience and was such fun to make feature photos at an event with such pride for the sport. Following the championship I spent some time on the ice photographing winning and loosing emotion. I also found my second favorite coffee shop!

Time to rest up, grocery shop for the first time in over a month and charge some batteries before heading to Vegas to start chapter three. Stay tuned!
