I am Matthew Sheremeta, a passionate storyteller from Albany, New York.

I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Broadcast and Digital Journalism at Syracuse University. I am a proud alumnus of Oswego State University, holding a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Media and Communications.

While attending Syracuse University, I was a student Multimedia Journalist for NCC News. I also served as a Sports Reporter for the Newhouse Sports Media Center and The NewsHouse, covering volleyball, football, and men’s basketball.

At Oswego State, I anchored sports weekly for the student-run news station WTOP-10 TV. I gathered footage and shared stories from local high schools in Oswego and Onondaga counties. I was also the station’s assistant original productions director and director of creative control during my senior year. I was highly versatile for our live sports department, working as a studio host, analyst, sideline reporter, and play-by-play announcer. When I wasn’t on the mic, I was the technical director for the 2024 white-out broadcast and a producer for the 2024 NCAA tournament hosted at Oswego State. I was a radio DJ for the alternative music show “The Snowball Effect” on WNYO.

Immediately following my graduation from Syracuse University, I will be interning with Little League Incorporated as part of their Little League World Series Residency Program. This is an exclusive and unique opportunity offered for 12 total students from Syracuse, Penn State, and Hampton University. It is a six-week program that will allow me to further enhance my storytelling, expand my knowledge of sports production, and further build my professional network.

I have been interning as a Sports Writer with The Lead Sports Media since September 2025, writing weekly stories that cover top storylines and provide critical analysis of the New York Giants, New York Yankees and Brooklyn Nets. During my first month at The Lead, I was selected as the contributor of the month.

I am a highly adaptable and dedicated leader. I enjoy coaching youth baseball and girls’ basketball. I also have experience as a one-on-one special education teacher and mentor.

I am into fashion, music, and film. I love to travel, attend concerts, and train for marathons.
