Online Journalism

The majority of my online journalism work focuses on the sports world – and specifically, the growing industry of MMA and combat sports. As a freelance reporter turned managing editor for the Jiu-Jitsu Times, a combat sports news site with an estimated total of over 400,000 readers, I’ve been privileged to help some of the biggest athletes, coaches, and business leaders in the combat sports industry tell their stories. Check out a sampler of my bylines below:

• The Making of ONE Grappling: Inside Chatri Sityodtong’s Plans to Take Jiu-Jitsu Mainstream

• How The Prince Of Peru Became the UFC’s Kneebar King: Claudio Puelles Discusses Career Journey

• IBJJF Masters’ Champ Betty Broadhurst on Living Her Best Sixty-Something Life: “Jiu-Jitsu Rebuilt My Confidence”

• How UFC Fighter Vanessa Demopoulos Brought Pole Dancing Power to the Octagon: “I’m the Cardi B of MMA”

• Hector Vasquez on Training UFC Royalty: “Creating World Champions Feels Better Than Winning My World Titles”

Believe it or not, the experience I developed as a freelance writer for sports news sites also proved itself a handy asset for my in-house corporate content work! Scroll down for an example of a Business Wire press release that I authored, announcing a key hire on our leadership team at the time:
