Outside Interests/Hobbies: 

Shopping, spending time with friends, and playing with my 6 year old dwarf rabbit, Mr. Hefner. I like to watch/listen to reruns of Sex and the City and cooking shows while I clean my apartment on the weekends – However, I do not cook and I’m on a never ending search for the best frozen dinner and the newest pair of shoes.

What You Enjoy About Local News: 

News is forever changing and I love the fact that my job is different everyday. I enjoy connecting with the people making news in the community. Before I began my career in television, I was a musical theatre performer. There are many parallels to the professions in the sense that a performer and reporter each have a story to tell. The venues may differ, but they are both story-tellers nonetheless.
