About

I’m an award-winning journalist, but at my core I am a West Texan through and through. I have worked with and learned from the biggest names in the Midland-Odessa market for nearly a decade. I joined the NewsWest 9 team in 2019 as the 5pm and 10 pm anchor.Born and raised in Midland, I entered the news business in my hometown, working my way up from intern to one of the main anchors in the region, helping West Texans wake up as a morning news anchor. The job has taken me coast-to-coast telling the stories of West Texans. I traveled to the Texas Gulf Coast in 2017 to assess the damage left behind from Hurricane Harvey. I also covered the Sutherland Springs Church Massacre alongside network reporters in late 2017.I stepped away from news in 2018 to take on communications at my alma-mater UT Permian Basin. While there, I managed media relations for the University, along with telling all the wonderful stories happening in and around campus.UT Permian Basin named me Outstanding Alumni in 2019. I am part of the 2018 class of Odessa’s Under 40 – an award given to entrepreneurs who’ve earned success at work and volunteered in their community before the age of 40. I earned the 2016 Texas Associated Press Broadcasters Award for ‘Best Newscast’ and ‘Best Feature Report.’ In 2014, I earned a TAPB Award for ‘Best Continuing Coverage.’
