Camden native Rebecca Woolard becomes first female broadcaster for Charleston RiverDogs
The Charleston RiverDogs hired Camden native Rebecca Woolard to join Sean Houston in the radio booth to broadcast home games this season for the New York Yankees’ Class A affiliate.
Woolard, who is preparing to graduate from the University of South Carolina’s Master of Mass Communications program, will make her debut as the color analyst when the RiverDogs begin a seven-game homestand Wednesday night against Lakewood.
“I believe that Sean and Rebecca will make a great team,” said Charleston general manager Dave Echols. “And our fans that listen to our games will certainly enjoy their broadcast.”
A 2010 graduate of the College of Charleston with a degree in communication, Woolard has gained experience as a producer, director, anchor, reporter and photographer with Carolina News at USC. She also interned with College of Charleston’s Department of Athletics’ multimedia department and Cougar Television. She also spent time at WACH-TV in Columbia and with WCBD-TV in Charleston.
Woolard will also work as a primary videographer for the club’s “Be Your Own Fan” initiatives.
