Welcome to my website!
I am excited to share my work and accomplishments with you.

I’m a television journalist and storyteller. Through my interviewing technique I bring all angles of a story forward. I thrive on research and constructing a thorough story. I pride myself on my interviewing ability because everyone has a voice or a story to tell. I enjoy presenting information across multiple platforms in a clear, smart, relevant way.
