I'm excited to be here in the Rio Grande Valley. I grew up in Oregon, but I lived in South Florida for ten years.

Before coming to KVEO Newscenter 23, I worked as a reporter in several markets across the U.S. My first position in news was at WSVN Channel 7 in Miami, Florida, where I worked as a writer.

I hold a Master of Science degree in Business Journalism from Florida International University.

Some of my favorite hobbies include working out, windsurfing, and checking out new restaurants.
