Last week, my time with Coast TV News came to an end. Three years to start my career in TV News that I will never forget. Delmarva is a beautiful region where I met so many kind people and I was able to tell stories that impact their lives. Draper Media allowed me to explore myself and find my passion. Reporting and anchoring was exciting. I always wanted to be on-air. But when I was given the chance to produce newscasts, that’s where my creativity and drive was most evident. I thank Draper Media for the opportunities I was given and preparing me for the next chapter in my career.

This summer, I will be taking my talents to Allentown, Pennsylvania where I will join WFMZ-TV as an Executive Producer for 69News at Sunrise. I am ready for the challenge ahead and ready to hit the ground running to make sure viewers are informed and engaged. On to the next step in my journalism journey!

I have been producing for WRDE Coast TV News for about two months. Here is my producing reel. The main focus has been showcasing and how can we present information in a way our viewers will understand it and be engaged. Any feedback is always welcome and appreciated!
