Hi there! My name is Olivia Brooks. I am currently in the final year of my Master’s program in Rhetoric and Composition at Florida State University, where I continue to pursue my passion for sports, media, and storytelling. With a B.A. in Editing, Writing & Media and Communications, along with a Modern Journalism Certification from NYU, I’ve built a foundation rooted in purposeful and inclusive storytelling—particularly focused on amplifying underrepresented voices in sports. My graduate thesis expands on this commitment by examining disparities in women’s sports literacy and media coverage.

​

At FSU, I’m actively involved with Seminole Boosters, Seminole Production, and the Women in Sports Association, and I look forward to furthering that engagement this year. I’m especially excited about contributing to Seminole Production in roles ranging from behind-the-camera work to editorial support and creative ideation. I also hope to deepen my involvement with the Institute of Sports Sciences and Medicine, where I see a powerful intersection between research, storytelling, and athletics.

​

Beyond academics, I’ve hosted an interview podcast, written for departmental publications, and held editorial roles across multiple magazines. As an Ironman triathlete, I’ve experienced firsthand how sport shapes identity, fosters community, and builds resilience—stories I am passionate about sharing.

​

Ultimately, my goal is to bridge journalism, media, and communication to craft human-centered stories in the world of sports. I welcome opportunities for collaboration, creative contribution, and support within FSU’s athletic and media initiatives.
