I'm so excited to get started reporting for Dayton 24/7 Now and be a part of the Miami Valley community!

I am from just a state away, Pennsylvania, but grew up moving all over the U.S. before heading back to my home state for college. I graduated from Penn State with a degree in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in Sociology.

While in school, I interned with the Penn State sports production team and with the State Senator's office. Upon graduation, I started an internship with Good Morning America, which led to my first full-time position as a production and executive assistant for World News Tonight with David Muir. All of these opportunities led to me gaining valuable skills and knowledge to help me become a better journalist.

I love community stories that highlight its members and what makes it special, so please reach out if you have a story that deserves to be heard.

In my free time, I love to cook and do food and restaurant reviews on my TikTok page! I also spend a lot of time with family and friends doing lots of outdoor activities and watching movies.
