In February 2026, as I prepared to launch my career in collegiate athletic communications, I built a personal project called the Adirondack Mountaineers, where I served as the athletic communications contact for the school’s football team, reflecting a realistic FBS environment. The team's roster, schedule, gameplay, and statistics are generated through EA Sports College Football 26.

The school is located in Lake Placid, New York, home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics and the site of the "Miracle on Ice." The Mountaineers played their inaugural season in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) in 2025. This project features full-season coverage, including social media graphics and posts, previews, recaps, game notes, and statistical records from the "Miracle on Turf".
