Lily's Sports Beat

My dream is to be a field reporter for professional sports and Special Olympics. I have Down syndrome, but that won't stop me from achieving my goals! I started with sideline interviews at my high school football games, then Athlete of the Week interviews for my junior college newspaper, and I graduated with a Journalism and Media Literacy Certificate. I continue to build my skills through interviews, improv, speech therapy, and more. And I say yes to every sports reporting opportunity that comes my way, like being a shoutcaster for the annual Gaming for Inclusion tournament with Special Olympics and Xbox and the field reporter for Special Olympics IL at the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games! Follow me and watch my dream come true!
