I am a recent college graduate from Oklahoma Wesleyan University where I got my degree in Film. I moved to Topeka from Oklahoma City and took the Morning Producer/MMJ position at WIBW News 13.
I played soccer all through college and am a sports fanatic. Growing up I always knew I wanted to be on camera, and later on I discovered my love for storytelling.
I love meeting new people and helping them communicate and share their stories with the world. I am a huge dog lover, enjoy exploring new places, and slightly obsessed with Christmas.
I am excited to start my career in Northeast Kansas, and I look forward to meeting and interacting with our viewers.
