About

I’ve been following my passion through a career as a tv reporter in broadcast news for nearly 20 years and am excited to also be working as a public speaking coach, helping professionals communicate effectively in large group and one on one settings. I like to say I’ve done every job in the newsroom - from taking out the trash on Sunday nights in my first job after anchoring and producing my own newscast, to providing hours of live coverage on major national breaking news. I have shot, edited, written, produced, reported and anchored. Competitive and compassionate — I always strive to be the best while acting as a team player wherever I’m working. I bring my drive as a former Division 1 athlete and empathy as a mother to every story and assignment. I believe it’s a reporter’s obligation to give back to community. I do this as a soccer coach and singer/cantor at my church in Short Hills, NJ.
