About Me
Hello everyone, and welcome to my website!
My name is Sean McQuillan. I am from Long Island, New York, and chose Pitt to pursue my dreams of working in the sports and live news broadcasting industry.
Ever since I was five years old, I’ve been providing commentary from the living room couch—sometimes by muting the television to deliver my own play-by-play, other times by narrating the “epic battles” between my dad and younger brother on the video game console.
I even took it a step further in elementary school, writing mock newspaper articles that I proudly “published” to my teachers—clearly convinced I was already a journalist in the making.
Those early habits grew into something more lasting: a genuine passion for storytelling. And for me, the stories I love most to tell are the ones found in sports and the people who bring them to life.
I am a junior at the University of Pittsburgh pursuing a B.A. in Media and Professional Communications at the University of Pittsburgh, with certificates in Television & Broadcast Arts and Sports Studies. Along the way, I’ve worked across nearly every side of sports media—from producing with Pitt Studios (ACC Network) and The College Sports Company to on-air and writing for The Pitt News, WPTS-FM Radio, CBS-KDKA Radio, Pittsburgh Baseball Now, and even PR with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
I currently serve as the Media and Professional Communications Student Ambassador at the University of Pittsburgh, helping future communicators find their voice and navigate their own path through the media world.
