☆ As an intern with the Tri-City ValleyCats (Houston Astros affiliate) Minor League Baseball team in 2018, I managed social media, marketing, photography, videography, and public relations. Some of that work can be seen in the coverage put together following each game:

Once I created and posted the graphic to social media, notable retweets and engagement with the post came from the official Astros account, and from General Manager Jeff Luhnow: Luhnow Quote Retweet

I took the photo below, which was also shared on the official Minor League Baseball account:


I also took the following photos which feature ValleyCats Manager Jason Bell, and players Enmanuel Valdez, Carlos Machado, Felipe Tejada, Jeremy Pena, Austin Dennis, Luis Encarnacion, and Michael Wielansky wearing our 1980's hockey-inspired jerseys.
