Wednesday - Friday, 9 News This Morning

Birthplace: Baton Rouge, LA

Broadcast Career: I don't know if I'd call it a career just yet, but I'm getting there!  I was lucky enough to get my first taste of TV in high school through Baton Rouge High's broadcast classes. That led me to Tiger TV at LSU where I anchored their weekly newscast while interning here at WAFB. The internship turned into an on-air position...and here I am.

Education: B.A., Manship School of Mass Communication at LSU (2007), University of Mainz in Germany, Baton Rouge High

Family Info: I'm a first-generation Southerner, as my family is all from north Pennsylvania. They came down to escape the cold and never left.

Community Involvement: Been lucky enough to take part in a few Habitat for Humanity builds

Hobbies:
I enjoy anything outside in our gorgeous Louisiana weather, especially tennis. Love to travel near and far (when I can afford it), and am hoping to get back to Germany soon where I spent two incredible years abroad. And I always keep friends and family as close as possible.

Big Stories Covered: My biggest so far was the Livingston man who bet against the Saints and got his 60" TV shot to pieces. It was one of those quirky stories that got national and even international attention. I was also here for our coverage of Hurricane Gustav.
