A Little Bit About Me

My name is Carianne Takeuchi, and I aspire to tell stories through data and strategy, because even if not everyone loves numbers as much as I do, it’s hard to argue with what the data reveals. My dream is to work in collegiate or professional baseball, helping every game, player, team, and organization tell its story in the way it wants to be understood. Everything and everyone has a story; let me help you tell yours.

I was born and raised on the island of Oahu in the beautiful state of Hawaii before moving to Wichita, Kansas, for undergrad to be a collegiate athlete, and then now to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to further my studies. As a master’s student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill studying Strategic Communication, I am deepening my understanding of advertising, public relations, and the broader business landscape. Combined with my bachelor’s degree in Sports Media & Promotion from Newman University, along with minors in Business Communication and Business Data Analytics, I bring a unique, hybrid perspective to storytelling at the intersection of sports, analytics, and communication.
