About

Stories make life. Even as a Christian, the Bible tells the story of God redeeming his creation. And all my life, I have loved to tell them. From broadcast to written content, storytelling is a craft that should be taken seriously, and news is no exception. Accurately telling a community's stories and finding importance in the things around you continues to be vital today. Whether it's an oral tradition, a family story passed down through the years, or breaking news that impacts you now - I strive to make life by telling stories.Awards and nominations, 2024- Nominated: Emmy for Continuing Coverage (NATAS Great Lakes Chapter)- Nominated: Emmy for Politics/Government (NATAS Great Lakes Chapter)- Nominated: Coverage of Government or Politics, All Indiana Stations (Indiana Pro SPJ)- Winner: Election Coverage, Outside Indianapolis market (Indiana Broadcasters Association)- Winner: Multimedia Journalist of the Year, Outside Indianapolis market (Indiana Broadcasters Association)2025- Winner: Coverage of Government or Politics, all non-Indianapolis stations (Indiana Pro SPJ)- Winner: Light Feature, Outside Indianapolis market (Indiana Pro SPJ)- Winner: Daily Assignment Reporting, Outside Indianapolis market (Indiana Pro SPJ)- Nominated: Coverage of Social Justice Issues, All Indiana Stations (Indiana Pro SPJ)
