About

Each day provides a new opportunity to tell a new story. I cover news for WTKR in the Hampton Roads area and have been blessed to work with some of the most wonderful people. Reporting in Virginia has been both challenging and extremely rewarding. Check samples of my work: https://youtu.be/rI46J_NHBiABefore moving to Norfolk, I spent six years covering news in Orlando. I worked as a multi-media journalist for Central Florida News 13, covering the George Zimmerman trial, the case against Casey Anthony and the end of the shuttle program at the Kennedy Space Center. I was also an anchor for KNDU-TV in Kennewick, Washington. I worked as an evening anchor and reporter for three years. Before moving to Washington, I spent two years as the news director and reporter for WBCB, an AM radio station in a Philadelphia suburb.At college, I spent a semester at the University College Cork and traveled extensively throughout Europe. During my senior year, I interned for NBC News in New York City. There the excitement of breaking news hooked me on a career in broadcast journalism. I grew up in Cherry Hill, N.J. and graduated from Rutgers University with a B.A. in Journalism and a minor in Communication. Writing for the school paper gave me my first taste of journalism.My favorite part of reporting is meeting so many different and interesting people.
