I grew up in Northern Kentucky graduating High School from Heritage Academy in 2001 and later moved to Missouri on a college volleyball scholarship to Evangel University earning a degree in Broadcasting,
While in college I interned in Cincinnati, Ohio at WCPO and my senior year in college I interned at KSPR News in Springfield, Missouri where I landed a Reporter job……
Shortly after they were in need for a weekend weather anchor so they trained me and that's when I fell in love with becoming a Meteorologist.
After graduating from college I won the title of "Miss Missouri USA 2006" and had a wonderful opportunity to represent Missouri at the 2006 Miss USA pageant….
And…. when I'm not at work I enjoy spending my free time shopping, working out, or watching football with my husband…
Now that you know a little bit about me… I am so excited to be in NorthEastern Pennsylvania and I look forward to help getting you and your family prepared for the day. Catch me weekdays on WBRE News from 5 to 7am, 11am and WYOU News at Noon!"
