I am currently the 6 A.M. news producer for Fox 13 News in Salt Lake City.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Born and raised in Atlanta, Ga., I developed an interest in journalism while attending Holy Innocents' Episcopal School (HIES). In May 2015, I graduated from HIES after taking three years of broadcast journalism courses. The following fall, I began my first term at Washington and Lee University (W&L) pursuing a bachelor's degree in journalism and global politics.

​

At W&L, I took a multitude of journalism courses including beat reporting (covering politics and elections), digital journalism, reporting on education, anchoring, editing for print and online media, producing broadcasts, social media and in-depth reporting (business).

​

Outside of the classroom, I completed two journalism internships. In the summer of 2017, I wrote for the Northside Neighbor, a local paper in the northwest region of Atlanta, Ga. The following summer, I worked for the Roanoke Times in Roanoke, Va. In April 2019, I won a Society of Professional Journalists Mark of Excellence Award for a feature story I wrote while working at the Roanoke Times.

​

I graduated from W&L in May 2019.

​

In October of 2019, I began working at WGME. I was originally responsible for the 4:30 and 7:00 A.M. newscasts. I was then moved to the 6 A.M. newscast but served as an interim executive producer for three months in the pandemic while my station looked for a new one. I have also produced the 5 A.M., 5 P.M., 6 P.M., 7 P.M., 10 P.M. and 11 P.M. newscasts.

​

I began working for Fox 13 News in Salt Lake City in March of 2021. I have worked on the 6 A.M. newscast here ever since; I occasionally help fill in on other shows, usually on weekends.
