News Philosophy

Hobbies, Interest & Community Involvement

When I'm not forecasting the weather for Southwest Florida, I enjoy trying new restaurants, spending time with friends, and, of course, spending time at the beautiful beaches that Southwest Florida has to offer!

Education

Bachelor of Science in Atmospheric Science, University of Missouri

Memorable Assignments

My career in television news has taken me all across the country and allowed me to cover everything from mountain snow events in Rocky Mountain West, to severe weather outbreaks in the Mid-Atlantic, to hurricanes. The most memorable weather event I covered as an on-air meteorologist was Hurricane Dorian's landfall along the Outer Banks of North Carolina in 2019.

Interesting Fact

I have a twin sister.
