ABOUT ME

My name is DJ Cadden, a recent college graduate and budding young professional.

​

My passion for the sports industry has shaped nearly every step of my career. For more than seven years, I have also built and managed @CFBNut, an Instagram account born from my love of college football that has grown into a platform dedicated to delivering engaging coverage to a passionate audience.

​

I have gained unique and valuable experience during my time as a journalist. While at The George-Anne, I broke into sports journalism during the COVID-19 pandemic, which served as an extremely unique experience.​ After graduating from Georgia Southern, I immediately hopped into the world of professional journalism for The Clemson Insider.

​

I returned to school at the University of Georgia and graduated with a Master of Arts degree in Adverting in December 2025. While in Athens, I gained hands-on experience within the advertising and communications world.

 

Most recently, I served as a marketing coordinator at Reynolds Lake Oconee, working alongside the marketing division and a team of 20 sales executives to execute campaigns in an effort to drive prospect engagement and boost brand visibility.
