So when I decided that journalism would be my career path, it just made sense.I have eight years of television news experience. Four of those years I worked as a photographer in Greenville, South Carolina. That’s where I learned my breaking news hustle and how to properly tell a visual story. My team grew our ratings for our 4 hour morning show from the #3 spot to the #2 and #1 spots. We also won a Southeast Emmy for our coverage of Hurricane Dorian. In Greenville I transformed my talents into on-air reporting. I worked full-time as a reporter and fill-in anchor in Macon, Georgia for 2 years. In that time I covered elections on every level. I also covered stories like an IRS tax lien being placed on a city, the potential impacts of a planned plastic to fuel recycling plant, and the mass vaccination distribution. After Macon I moved to Tallahassee to work at ABC27 as the Evening Weekend Anchor/MMJ. I covered multiple local protests on state laws at the Capitol, severe weather across the region, and school issues.Currently I’m the evening reporter at News4JAX in Jacksonville. I cover everything from high profile court cases to issues with our local school board. We have a focus on community issues in our reporting. I’ve cultivated a list of contacts to help me tell those stories on a regular basis.When I’m not at work I can be found spending time watching my favorite TV shows or hanging out with my dog Mozzarella and my cat Roxy. I spent about two years taking aerialist lessons in South Carolina, so I find every chance I get to take aerialist lessons when I can find them. I also love couponing and finding ways to save money on everyday essentials thanks to creators on TikTok.
