Keenan Vaughan
As someone who spent the first 18 years of their life living in the outskirts of Houston, Texas, I’m well-educated in the heartbreak of sports. After earning my high school diploma and desiring a change of scenery, I decided to enroll at Arizona State University in 2023. I’m currently two semesters away from graduating with a major in sports journalism and a minor in business. Before I began my internship with Arizona Sports, I worked as a sports reporter/coverage director for the Walter Cronkite Sports Network as well as the head of news broadcasting for Blaze Radio.
Expertise
Writing, video, editing, radio.
Experience
I’ve covered ASU athletics (including wrestling, softball, hockey, baseball and football) for the past two years.
Education
Currently pursuing a Sports Journalism bachelor’s degree from Arizona State’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication and a Business minor from Arizona State’s W.P. Carey School of Business.
