​And you are?

​Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Nina! I would say my story is pretty similar to any other Genz-er nowadays, but there's always something that makes each person unique. Hopefully you can discover my uniqueness as you read my story and navigate your way through my work. 

 

​How did you get here? 

That's a great question! During my childhood I was always watching crime shows with my family and from that influence I always thought I knew what I wanted to study in college. . . until I didn't. I thought studying criminal justice to understand why criminals behaved the way they did would cure my curiosity for life (bold assumption I know), but it was only after a change to my concentration of study and an entire undergraduate degree did I realize maybe that wasn't what I wanted to pursue as a career. "But Nina you would've been so good at it!", stop it I'm blushing 🤭, I know I would've been good at it, but the passion just wasn't there!

 

Fast forward to 2021 where I decided to reenroll in graduate school to pursue

a career in sports. If you're wondering how I went from criminal justice to sports,

well. . .  we listen and we don't judge, this was quite a self discovery process. I grew

up playing soccer and founded and ran the first Women's Club Soccer team on

my campus with friends I met along the way. I have so much love for the sport

and had such a great experience managing that team I figured why not try a

career in sports. I ended up landing an internship at a USL club called Hartford

Athletic, which turned into my full time job, and had such a blast, but like all things it came to a bittersweet ending. I left Hartford when I was offered a position at MSG Networks where I currently work as a Production Coordinator on our sports betting shows and plethora of original content ranging from cultural tentpoles to working directly with the Knicks, Rangers, and their respective talent. From here, I knew that if I wanted to grow and learn it was up to me to ask questions, be resourceful, and teach myself what I didn't have time for at work. 

​​

Ok so what exactly DO you do?

​A little bit of everything if I'm being honest with you. I love the arts, media, pop culture, social media, with a sprinkle of sports. I also love taking pictures and using media to express myself and the stories of others. With those two things combined, you get. . . whatever I do now (I never said the self discovery stopped, I'm still young you know 🤷🏻‍♀️). I would say this portfolio is a highlight of what I would like to be doing more of which would be tapping into my creativity in different spaces. Everything that led me to this point has shaped me into who I am and taught me that experiences and knowledge you accumulate along the journey is something you own and no one can take away from you. I'm not exactly sure where I want to go with this path, but I know it makes me happy enough to keep figuring it out.
