I was born and raised on the Jersey Shore, and am so excited for my new adventure telling sports stories here in Kansas!
I graduated from the University of Maryland in May 2022, where I earned my B.A. in Journalism. At UMD, I covered all things Terps all the time. I was the Executive Producer of The Left Bench TV, the TV Reporter for SB Nation's award-winning Maryland site Testudo Times, an anchor and reporter for Capital News Service, and the President of the Association for Women in Sports Media.
Growing up, I was a dancer for 14 years. It wasn't until I got knee surgery at the age of 16, and spent my entire summer on the couch watching preseason NFL shows, that I found my passion for sports reporting.
When I'm not at the station, I'm probably watching football, playing the guitar/piano, cheering on my Terps, or exploring all of the sights (and food) Kansas has to offer!
I'm thrilled to start my professional career in Northeast Kansas, and I can't wait to tell your stories. Keep up with all of my coverage on Twitter and Facebook, and don't hesitate to reach out!
