MELODY MORRIS
COMEDIAN &
SPORTS JOURNALIST
Who I Am and My Personal Brand
My biggest three passions are comedy, sports and social media.
My main goal is to combine my love for comedy, sports and social media into one lifelong creative project. Humor, sports knowledge and creativity has come very easy to me, starting around age 9. Watching a basketball game while yelling out phrases compared to Stephen A. Smith’s kick started this now career that I have.
I actively work on my sports campaigning every day by being a part of the social media and digital production team at Cronkite News: Sports Bureau. Cronkite News is hands on, real world experience in a sports newsroom. I publish stories for Arizona PBS through the bureau so I have experience in website functions and design. I have the privilege of working with amazing peers and instructors who push me further every day.
I currently edit my own videos for comedy and have videos lined up to post consistently on my YouTube channel analyzing sports and sports culture. Designing, editing and creating has always interested me and is something I genuinely enjoy. I have sharpened my social media campaigning skills significantly over the past years in Cronkite and can not wait to sharpen them even more this year.
