About

I’m a seasoned storyteller documenting history through the voices of the community I serve. You can catch the pieces I craft at 11 p.m. on 10 Tampa Bay as a Multi-Skilled Journalist. Being in the field since 2015, I’m trusted to lead major breaking news events as both a reporter and an anchor. This includes the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting, two Super Bowls and several hurricanes, of which I earned awards for weather coverage. My storytelling-skills translate on the anchor desk. For more than 3-years, I anchored the #1 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. weekend newscasts in the Southwest Florida market. I was also a fill-in anchor across the board in Charm City. Embedding myself into the community has allowed me to share compelling stories as I use curiosity as a driver to help others.
