University of Wisconsin
What are you most proud of when it comes to your work?
Creating and sharing stories that bring a sense of pride and joy to the people willing to let me tell their stories of success, struggle, and everything in between.
What are you most proud of in your own life?
I'm most proud of continuing to chase this dream of working in sports broadcasting. I feel so lucky to call this my "job". It's a privilege to work in this role with so many other talented anchors, reporters, and so many other people behind the scenes.
What do you love about living in the KC area?
I've never lived in a city as large as Kansas City, so I'm excited to explore all the different restaurants, parks, and culture this area has to offer. I also love fall, so seeing all the beautiful foliage during this time of year has me in awe.
What are your favorite local hangouts/places, sports & cultural institutions?
I love visiting stadiums and arenas in different cities, checking out local zoos, challenging the brain with an escape room, or finding the best pizza or burger place around town.
All-time favorites... (movies, shows, books, music)
I'm a huge fan of Game of Thrones (even if the final season was...disappointing), whatever is the latest top show on Netflix, Max or Hulu, and Jon Bellion is my favorite musician. Lil Wayne is a close second - *lighter flick*
Other than kshb.com and KSHB 41 News, you get your news from….
Most of the news I consume is sports related, so I enjoy reading articles from The Athletic, ESPN, and anything else I find on social media.
Apps you can't live without:
X (it will always be Twitter in my mind), YoutubeTV, and Google Maps since I'd be hopelessly lost in KC without it.
