About

I grew up glued to my local news and was determined to get on the other side. Thankfully, I was born and raised in the City of Brotherly Love where I was able to begin interning at NBC at just 17-years-old. Since then, I’ve had the chance to learn from on-air legends in Philly and investigative greats in LA, tough it out as an MMJ in rural PA, report on national and local news in Connecticut, be part of history in the making at WBZ in Boston and now have joined the legendary news team at CBS NY. My path has shaped me to be an aggressive, empathetic, fast-paced and compelling story-teller. I earned a Bachelor's of Arts in Broadcast Journalism with minors in Digital Media Trends & Analytics and Sociology from The Pennsylvania State University. I am a member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists and an Emma Bowen Foundation Fellow.
