Kitchen Sink Sports is a place where women and everyone belong. We talk all things sports, pop culture, and life—everything and the kitchen sink. We are redefining sports culture with bold, unfiltered commentary that welcomes everyone to the table. We celebrate analysis, competition, storytelling, humor, and authentic voices that make the games we love more than a stats sheet.
Meet Our Team
Founder
Sarah founded Kitchen Sink Sports because she believes sports belong to everyone—not just the bros (though she does love her bros). Originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, and having worked for four different Major League Baseball teams, Sarah roots for the Lobos, her former employers, the Oilers (her mom’s Canadian), and anyone she dang well pleases. Sarah loves words and sports, and she invites you to join the Kitchen Sink Sports journey, where we’re serving up hot takes and possibly hot cakes. Women and everyone belong in this kitchen.

Katie played college basketball at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, but because she’s now incredibly washed up, she’s turned to writing about sports instead of playing them. She was in college when the women’s tournament wasn’t allowed to use the “March Madness” branding and the “weight room” was a set of dumbbells that maxed out at 10 pounds (and she graduated in 2022–so we’re only talking a few years ago). That’s why she joined Kitchen Sink Sports: because it’s for everyone, not just the bros. And because she had to do something with all the sports knowledge (and specifically women’s basketball knowledge) that’s rolling around in her brain.
From Arizona, but currently residing in Pittsburgh, Eshaan‘s had a pretty rough go-around when it comes to sports teams. After his hometown hockey team left his state for Utah, he’s sworn off ice sports, but you’ll catch him watching the Pittsburgh Pirates knock it out of the park on occasion, the Wildcats rattle between 10-2 and bowl ineligible, and the Steelers continue on their endless march to 10-7. On the days when none of them are playing, you’ll see him staring pensively (see picture) into the middle distance, trying to remember the good times from that 2009 Super Bowl.
Jacob was born in New Jersey, but raised in Seattle. Meaning he doesn’t have all that much to show for success as a sports fan. Sure, there have been some bright spots. There was the Legion of Boom & Superbowl, the 2001 Mariners, and when did the Jets win again? But overall, it’s been a fairly sad run. Which all goes to show what a massive fan he must be to continually get his hopes up year after year (what do they say about insanity?). But hey, that’s showbiz, baby. He’s here to bring a fresh take to sports talk, with delusional confidence, a rollercoaster of emotions, and a hint of depression. Sports are for everyone, especially the losers.
Born in San Diego, California, Ava possesses an undergraduate degree in English from the University of Santa Barbara and a graduate degree in English from Carnegie Mellon University. She is passionate about writing, reading, and editing—which gives her a unique perspective on storytelling, ultimately helping her craft narratives that capture the essence of sport and culture. Through her writing, Ava hopes to bridge the gap between sports and the stories that often go untold—stories of resilience, community, and identity that transcend the final score.
Dalton was born and raised in southern Indiana, to a family with no sustained interest in sports, which allowed him to chart his own unique path of sports fandom (St. Louis Cardinals, Indianapolis Colts, San Antonio Spurs, and Liverpool are an odd bunch). Much like his sports fandom, Dalton’s life has taken numerous turns as he possesses a BS in Geology & Geophysics from Purdue University and an MA in Literary & Cultural Studies from Carnegie Mellon University. Dalton’s interests lie in the often intertwining relationship of sports and culture and how they impact the development of each other.
