“I am most excited to be involved with two major bowl games,” said Napier. “I am also pretty pumped about learning more about the world of sports media communications.” 

Academically, Napier thanks Lynn University and her professors for their support in her undergrad career.

“Having learned everything I did from my professors at Lynn, more specifically Gary Carlin, Stephanie Jackson and Stefanie Powers, I was able to present myself in the most professional way possible. I am eternally grateful to them for all of their guidance and support over the years.”
