My name is Charlie Parent. I am a 21-year-old student journalist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I strive to work in the sports industry whether it’s communications, operations or reporting. As a Brand Communications Assistant with Wisconsin Athletics, I’ve spent the past two years strategizing and executing the vision for all external communications regarding the Badgers’ football team. Additionally, through my writing as a national recruiting analyst, I’ve found passion in creating exposure for young athletes that don’t otherwise receive the media attention they deserve. I'm excited to develop my critical thinking and strategic communication skills through my current positions, along with my course work surrounding creative media campaigns.

Recent Work : UW-Madison Athletics
Since August of 2023, I have worked for Wisconsin Athletics, covering, writing and posting for the communications department. During the Fall of 2024, I’ve primarily worked with the Badger football team, assisting in press box setup and game day operations for a national and local media crowd of over 150, along with shaping the brand’s story each and every day. In my time with UW Athletics, I’ve covered live football, basketball, soccer, hockey, track & field and cross country events.
Recruiting
I’ve been covering college basketball recruiting for the past three years with New York Times contributor Adam Zagoria. As a national recruiting analyst, I’ve conducted interviews with over 300 players and coaches, tracked player commitments across their high school careers and formed valuable connections throughout the basketball community.
