TAMPA, Florida -- Tiffany Greene always aspired to work at ESPN.
The Tampa native put herself on that path as an undergraduate after meeting a recruiter at a 2000 job fair at Howard University. The recruiter suggested Greene take on a production job at the network; she declined.
She wanted to be a reporter.
So Greene took her degree from Florida A&M University and poured everything into her work.
Her big break came this year when she earned a fulltime job with the sports network. She's handling play-by-play duties on college softball, volleyball and basketball, but it's her work on college football that stands out.
Greene, who will work as the sideline reporter Saturday for ABC's broadcast of the Air Force Reserve Celebration Bowl from Atlanta, became one of only a handful of women to ever handle college football play-by-play for the network this year.
