I've been fortunate to meet a lot of people in and out of the newsroom and studios and share a lot of great experiences with many who I now call friends. Here are just a handful of the moments which have been a part of my journey.

2022 IASB AWARDS FOR BEST NEWSCAST, BEST SPORTSCAST & BEST SPOT PRODUCTION

I'm grateful to have been recognized for newscasting, sportscasting and spot production. The previous year I had worked tirelessly on a PSA called, "Words Hurt." I was excited to compete but didn't place. That experience taught me the importance of developing and adapting my voice to fit different tones whether it be for news, sports and various radio production spots.
