The Pennsylvania native has worked in Charlotte, North Carolina, Buffalo, New York, and Rapid City, South Dakota.
​
She knows how to work with contacts to get information on the big story of the day. For example, when she was a reporter in Buffalo, NY and the FBI raided Buffalo City Hall, she was able to use her contacts to get in touch with people being interviewed in the investigation.
​
She's not afraid to ask the tough questions. While she was a reporter in her first market in Rapid City, she questioned the Sheriff's Department about a potential faulty ankle monitor. After continuing to press, they discovered the ankle monitor was faulty and
her reporting prevented a flight-risk inmate from being released on bail.

She started her career in Rapid City, moving halfway across the country from her hometown of Allentown, PA. She lived there for two years, wearing every hat in the newsroom. On weekends, she and her co-anchor produced and anchored the 5:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. shows, MMJ'ed, and handled the digital pages for the station. There, she also won three AP awards.

She got her first experience on-air while she was a Junior Reporter for Fox 29 Philadelphia. She shot, edited and fronted packages in the studio for their weekend morning show.
​
Before that, she interned in two other Philly newsrooms, 6abc and PHL17.

She also has experience on the network level with CBS Radio News Network, working with executive producers during the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
