Elizabeth Pehota, 25
New England Revolution Reporter

Rookie year: I just completed my first season covering the New England Revolution. I’ve also covered events like the 2018 NBA All-Star weekend, March Madness and Boston Business Women conferences.

How you got here: I was a member of the Boston College cheerleading program for three years. I dedicated my senior year to furthering my reporting career at BC, while elevating my passion for sports by cheering for the Boston Celtics. I then went on to become an in-arena host for the Celtics and was involved as a reporter for Boston Business Women.

Watch your waistline: Not to brag, but I’m a really good baker. I love to make brownies, cupcakes, blondies, cakes or anything of that nature. But a hidden talent is that I can make healthier versions of them with ingredients that are better for you, and you’d never know the difference.

Celebrity crushes: Chris Hemsworth or Ryan Reynolds.

Craziest thing you ever did for love (or lust): I once surprised someone with a romantic getaway. I coordinated time off with his boss, set up all the travel arrangements and then surprised him the night before. I told him to pack his bags for our flight, which was leaving first thing in the morning. Nothing beats a romantic getaway, especially if it’s a surprise.

Deal breaker: I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t get along with my dogs.

Most romantic place in the world: I have a special place in my heart for Italy. I studied abroad in Rome in college and fell in love with the city, the people, and most importantly, the food. I love traveling in general, so any chance to get whisked off my feet is a win for me.
