UA SIGN GIRL

During my 4 years at the University of Alabama, I began painting a "Script A" on my face and bringing signs to sporting events to show support. This past football season, many of my signs went viral, and I became a common staple on ESPN and CBS. By the end of the season, I had been on every home game on TV, was on TV during the Iron Bowl and Sugar Bowl, made Sports Illustrated, USA Today, NY Times, and many more. Being the Sign Girl really helped me network with potential employers, and I was blessed to meet many Sports Reporters/Broadcasters who gave me advice for applying for jobs.

This sign was the most famous sign I held all year. Tracy Wolfson saw it before the Alabama vs. Tennessee game and tweeted it, and by the time the game was over, it had been shared on thousands of websites. Eli Gold mentioned my sign to Saban in the post game press conference and Saban commented, which also helped this sign go viral.

Being the Sign Girl allowed me with the opportunities to meet many of my role models in Sports Broadcasting. At the 2013 Sugar Bowl, I was blessed to meet Kirk Herbstreit.

Another Sports Broadcasting role model I was thrilled to meet was Tracy Wolfson. She was the first person to put my "Saban, We'll stay for 60 if you stay forever" sign on social media. CBS covered quite alot of our games so throughout the season, she and I stayed in contact, and she has given me some advice for future jobs.

I was also blessed with the opportunity to meet Nick Saban. Being a senior in college, that was one of goals before I graduated.

This picture is from an issue of Sports Illustrated. I was shocked to see this picture in it, but it was a really cool thing to see!

When Rece Davis came to Alabama earlier last year to speak to the students, I was fortunate to meet him. He gave me some great advice for a career in sports broad-

casting.

This picture is from the Alabama locker room at the Sugar Bowl. It was so cool to see that me and my Roll Tide sign make the inspirational wall mural!

This picture was taken from College Gameday at the Sugar Bowl. As always, I was one of the first people in the stadium and was cheering during warmups when ESPN got this shot of me.

This picture was from an article in USA Today.

This was the opening shot on ESPN during the Alabama vs. Arkansas game.

This was another famous sign I made during the season after Stanford stunned Oregon for the 2nd year in a row.

This picture was taken by Alaina Denean and was edited by a friend for an advertisement on my website.

A guy named Eric, who I did not know but who followed me on Facebook, asked me to help him propose to his girlfriend after the Sugar Bowl. And she said YES! This picture was then posted on my website.
