For as long as I can remember, I was "shooting" for a television career.  In elementary school, I would give my friends impromptu camera tutorials so they could capture me in action. I began creating pretend news reports and variety shows, setting the foundation for a lifelong love of storytelling.

​

Growing up on Long Island, I was fortunate to live just a car ride away from New York City. With my mother’s Brooklyn roots, I had access to an abundance of enriching experiences that allowed me to hone my skills in the arts. I spent school vacations on movie sets, at modeling shoots, photography camps, and creating my own reporting projects on everything from historical landmarks to concerts, cultural parades, and more.

​

I graduated from Five Towns College with a degree in Mass Communications and Broadcasting. My college years were filled with hands-on experience, from anchoring newscasts and sideline reporting sports events to hosting my morning radio show, Manic Monday.

​

Today I specialize in covering local businesses, human interest stories, and trending news, with a commitment to delivering authentic, engaging content that resonates across all media platforms. My work centers on amplifying voices and showcasing the stories that matter most to diverse communities. With strong expertise in interviewing, relationship-building, and digital content distribution, I take pride in creating impactful narratives that inspire, inform, and connect audiences.
