About Me

My name is Mariel Brady and I’m a senior print journalism major at the University of Maryland with a minor in sport commerce and culture.

I'm not totally sure what I want to do after gruaduation, but I know I want to stay involved in sports, whether that be in PR or for a news organization. Depending on how things go, law school is also a possibility, but I definitely want to work for a couple years before going back to school.

Since my freshman year, I have worked for Maryland Athletics Media Relations, helping out with football, men’s and women’s basketball and pretty much all of the other sports. I’m also the sports information director for track and field.

I’ve had internships at YES Network and the Baltimore Sun sports department, which were both great experiences. Last spring semester, I studied abroad in London, which was absolutely awesome. While I was there, I interned with Brentford Football Club. They’re in League One, which is kind of the equivalent of a Triple A baseball team. I learned a lot and had so much fun and I am thinking about possibly moving back after graduation.

And that's about it for me. I'm from New York, and have an older brother and two younger sisters. My brother is also involved in sports, he works for the NBA in their global marketing and liscensing department. One of my younger sistsers is a freshman at Boston College and the other is still in high school.
