Mission Statement
MY GOAL AS A COMBAT SPORTS JOURNALIST IS TO SHARE THE BEAUTY OF MIXED MARTIAL ARTS, BOXING AND COMPETITIVE GRAPPLING TO A WIDER AUDIENCE, AND HELP THEM APPRECIATE THEM FOR THE ARTISTRY AND RESILIENCE ON DISPLAY. AS A JOURNALIST, THE RELENTLESS PURSUIT OF CREATING UNIQUE, HIGH QUALITY CONTENT IS PARAMOUNT. ENSURING THAT WHAT I PRODUCE IS REFLECTIVE OF MY ENTHUSIASM FOR COMBAT SPORTS IS WHAT PUSHES ME TO IMPROVE. I AM CONSTANTLY PRODUCING SPORTS CONTENT IN ORDER TO SHARPEN MY ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE COMBAT SPORTS AND ITS NUANCES TO A NEW AND EXPERIENCED AUDIENCE. ACHIEVING THIS WHILE ENSURING THE TOPICS, ATHLETES AND FIGURES COVERED ARE DONE SO IN THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE WAY IS OF THE HIGHEST IMPORTANCE.
