LFG Sports

Led viral video strategy and creator management for the fastest-growing college sports content channel at Penn State. Drove millions of views, brand deals, and nationwide fan engagement.

At LFG Sports, I helped shape the voice of the fan. As Social Media Manager, I created, curated, and distributed short-form video content that amplified passionate sports communities across the country. I contributed to the main LFG Sports brand through custom Man-on-the-Street interviews, sports reaction edits, and fan-sourced content—but my biggest impact came from launching and scaling @lfgpennstate, which quickly became the most successful college ambassador channel in the company’s network.
