Waking up a the crack of dawn every morning isn't for everyone, but it's when I thrive.

​

Currently, I am the weekend morning anchor at WANE 15 in Fort Wayne. If I can do a little bragging, there is no other show like this in the entire market.

​

I love being welcomed into viewers' homes on the weekends to let you know what's going on in your community, but also to have some fun.

​

You never know what will happen next on First News Weekends.

​

In 2015, I was very lucky to get my start as a multi-media journalist in my hometown.  At Erie News Now I gained experience in the TV world.  Nearly every day I was out in the field live.  During my live shots, I'd either conduct live interviews or actively report stories to help inform the community I grew up in.

​

I've been very fortunate to gain experience behind the desk as an anchor, too.  Most recently, I anchor/produced an hour-long weekend morning show. I anchor/produced various shows, that I filled in when needed.  Those included a two-hour morning show, two half-hour noon shows, and a half-hour newscast aired in the Caribbean islands.

​

My goals are to further my journalism career by being behind the anchor desk full-time.  However, I would still like to be able to report stories that engage and benefit viewers, as well.
