Visuals and sound are what drives any story – that’s my belief. When approaching news, I strive to find the elements that will capture the viewer’s attention. This storytelling philosophy has awarded me several recognitions: Emmy Award for ‘Video Journalist’ 2020, West Virginia Broadcasters Association ‘Best Multimedia Journalist’ 2020, Emmy nomination for ‘General Assignment Report – Within 24 Hours’ 2019, Emmy nomination for ‘Video Journalist’ 2018. I join the News Center 7 team as the newest weekend anchor/reporter. Prior, I spent three years at WOWK-TV in Charleston, West Virginia as a multimedia journalist. In 2018, I graduated from Illinois State University with a dual-B.S. in journalism and political science. Upon graduation, I traded in the flatlands for the mountains and truly enjoyed the Mountain State’s beauty and news content. Now, I am happy to be back in the Midwest, eager to tell your stories Miami Valley! I am a proud member of the NATAS Ohio Valley Chapter and the National Press Photographers Association. Both organizations helps me stay on top of my craft so I can continuously deliver impactful stories. In my free time, I enjoy the outdoors, trying local foods and hanging out with my cat, Journey (short for journalist)!
