MEET THE VIDEO PRODUCER
My name is Alanna Jacob, and I am currently a production intern at ESPN in Charlotte. I’m entering my final year at the University of Georgia, where I am majoring in journalism and pursuing certificates in sports media and entrepreneurship. As a student, I work as a production intern for Georgia Bulldog Sports Marketing, creating content for UGA athletics across various platforms. The most exciting part of my work in production is bringing ideas to life, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to do that here at ESPN. Go Dawgs!
MEET THE AUTHOR

I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in media and journalism, where I wrote and produced podcasts for UNC and WUNC. As a big Carolina Basketball fan, I’m happy to be at ESPN working in programming and utilizing my storytelling skills for ESPN Front Row.
