Based in Carmel, Indiana, I earned my undergraduate degree in Journalism with an additional focus on Video Production at DePaul University. From there, I went on to acquire an M.A. in Media and Communication Studies at Florida State University, where I also received a certificate in Digital Video Production and a cognate in Project Management.

My professional career started in 2013 at ABC27 in Tallahassee, FL as a news producer, a role that quickly expanded to reporting and anchoring as well. I filmed, wrote and edited my own stories for live newscasts and for the station website. I also trained new reporters and producers. In 2014, I became a producer at FOX59/CBS4 in Indianapolis, where I built, organized and wrote daily newscasts.

In 2018, I left TV news for a role in strategic communications at Indiana University. As a media and public relations specialist, I work with local and national journalists to tell stories about work happening at the medical school. I also produce written and video content for the website and social media and train faculty on how to increase media coverage of their work and improve their interview skills.

Outside of work, you'll find me playing and cuddling with my energetic black labrador dog, exploring new parks and playgrounds with my two kids and husband, or painting/repainting used furniture and every surface possible in my home.
