About

“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work.” My journey in the TV industry began when I was just 16 years old. Joining the KSNF (Joplin-Pittsburg) team in March 2017 as a Production Assistant, I immersed myself into the behind-the-scenes workings of news production. There, I honed a diverse array of skills—from operating studio cameras to crafting on-air graphics and even digitally producing stories for the website. In the summer of 2021, I was offered an opportunity to become the Lifestyle Producer for KSNF’s hour-long afternoon talk show, Living Well. This pivotal role became my creative platform, and served as a place that ignited my true passion for fun yet informative content creating (on air and on all digital platforms)! Fast forward to January 2024, and I've embarked on an exciting new chapter as the Lifestyle & Entertainment Producer at CW33 in Dallas, TX. With a seven-year journey in the news and entertainment industry, seamlessly navigating both newsrooms and control booths, I bring a wide range of expertise in all things pop culture, entertainment, and pure fun to the table!
