For as long as I can remember, I was "shooting" for a television career. In elementary school, I discovered how much I enjoyed being in front of the camera. I would give my friends quick camera tutorials, so they could catch me in action. I started to create pretend news reports and variety shows.

 

Growing up on Long Island gave me the luxury of being a car ride away from the city. And since my mother’s roots are in Brooklyn, there has always been access to endless, enriching experiences for me to hone my skills in the arts. I spent most of my school vacations involved being on set in movie productions, modeling shoots, photography camps, and creating my own reporting projects ranging from historical sites to concerts, cultural parades, and more!

 

I graduated from Five Towns College where I studied Mass Communications and Broadcasting. I loved anchoring our newscasts, sideline reporting our sports games, and hosting my morning radio show, Manic Monday.

​

When I am not reporting, I enjoy painting ceramics, creating vegetarian meals, juicing, caring for foster kittens, and most of all mentoring people who love videography and reporting just as much as I do.
