Charleston, SC

Professional Experience: I joined the Live 5 News Team in May. Previously I was a reporter at Cronkite News, a subdivision of Arizona PBS. I also interned with 12 News in Phoenix, Arizona.

News Philosophy: Everyone deserves to hear the news they want from people they trust and respect.

Education: I graduated with a BA from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications at Arizona State University.

Hometown: Phoenix, Arizona

Family: I am an only child but have a really close relationship with both of my parents. This is the first time I have lived out of state and I miss them so much, but I know they are proud of me.

Hobbies & Interests: I like going to the gym, trying new restaurants, taking my dog on adventures and reading true crime books.

Likes Best About the Lowcountry: I love being so close to the beach and the food here is amazing. Although the humidity is a change, I am excited to escape the dry, Arizona heat.
