Comcast is narrowing down the finalists for its contest to find Xfinity’s Next Ultimate Social Media Sports Reporter and Durham native Victoria Hawkins needs your vote! Hawkins is a veritable sports fanatic. At Hillside High School, she led the Lady Hornets volleyball team as captain for four years. She then took her athletic talents to Fayetteville State University, where she played on the varsity volleyball team.

"Sports have always been a major part of my life,” says Vykky. “It has helped me to develop immensely as a leader--I just want to pay my experiences forward to the next generation.”

Currently, Hawkins is pursuing her Masters degree in Sport Administration at Delaware State University in Dover, Del., while also interning for Disney Sports Attractions at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla. If Hawkins wins the Xfinity contest, she will have the opportunity to travel across the country and cover major sports events from the Xfinity Sports social media platforms, marrying her two passions - sports and social media.

“I am extremely passionate about social media and having the opportunity to work with Xfinity Sports will give me priceless experience while doing something I love.” says Hawkins.

To vote for Vykky, watch and “like” her video on Facebook. Supporters can vote once a day, every day through this Sunday.
