Role: Social Media Intern
Focus: Real-Time Publishing, Video Editing, UGC, Graphics and Live Sports Coverage
ESPN | Social Media Production
During summer 2026, I supported social content across ESPN, NBA on ESPN and ESPNW on TikTok, Instagram and X. My work included sourcing and securing user-generated content, developing editorial posts, creating graphics and editing short-form video around breaking news, live sports and cultural moments.
Publishing an average of eight posts per day, my work contributed to more than 25.17 million engagements during my first seven weeks. The experience strengthened my ability to move quickly, maintain editorial accuracy and create platform-specific content for large, highly engaged audiences.

Selected ESPN Work
ESPN Graphics
I designed social graphics that translated breaking sports news, quotes, and cultural moments into clear, platform-ready visuals. My process included identifying the strongest story angle, selecting imagery, designing the graphic, incorporating editorial feedback, and preparing the final asset for publication across ESPN social channels.
UGC
These are among the highest-performing UGC posts I published during my time at ESPN. For each piece, I sourced the original content, secured usage permission, identified the strongest hook, added on-screen text, wrote brand-aligned copy, and prepared the post for publication.
