“I have produced TV coverage for ESPN, from the Super Bowl, NFL Draft, various NFL and ML teams, and more. I won my first Emmy as an Associate Producer on SportsCenter in 2021! Many of my communication and journalism courses helped build a great foundation of knowledge that I pull from almost daily in my life.”
- Elanna Rubenstein, B.A. Communication, 2011
Coverage Producer II, ESPN
“I run all the home broadcasts for The Citadel on ESPN platforms. My day-to-day is setting up the equipment for the production and making sure it all works properly. During the broadcast, I direct the whole show as it airs on ESPN. I am excited to see how this production and department will grow as I continue to put my stamp on it.”
