Carley Ford grew up playing sports for her entire life. After high school, she wanted to continue with sports but didn’t want to play them. So, she figured out that sports reporting was the best way to continue her passion.
After graduating from high school, she pursued a degree in mass communication and broadcast journalism at Virginia Commonwealth University. Ford earned her degree from Full Sail University’s Dan Patrick School of Sportscasting.
While in college, she did an internship with the Tennis Channel and learned several aspects of sports reporting by providing reports both on-air and online. She also provided support to the broadcast team at several NFL games held across the country. In addition, Ford was the sideline reporter for the Orlando SeaWolves professional indoor soccer team and Rollins soccer and basketball teams.
