Background:

I started working as a Reporter in April 2024. Before that, I worked as a Digital Producer for WINK News starting in April 2022.

Before moving to Southwest Florida, I worked in production for MSG Networks and SiriusXM in New York City

I started working at MSG Networks in 2017 - we primarily covered the Knicks, Rangers, Islanders, and Devils, but we also covered the whole NBA and NHL.

SiriusXM covers many different professional and college athletics including the NBA, NHL, NFL, NCAAF, NCAAB, UFC, NASCAR, and Horse Racing.

Before that, I worked for the New York Mets, WPIX News, Big Mama and the Wild Bunch on B103.9, News12 New Jersey.

I graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University with a degree in Communications in 2015.

News Philosophy:

• Truth matters.
• Attentive attitude. Whatever you are covering, you have to give it your full attention.
• Investigate and inform. You have to do the work to uncover and explain the important details. Relating to the audience. Understanding and conveying how a story relates to others, the community, and beyond is what makes a story stick in the minds of your audience.
• Focus and Execution. To get the job done on time, it is imperative to sustain focus while writing and stay precise and efficient in the field.

Hobbies, Interests & Community Involvement:

I enjoy an active lifestyle. I’ve always had an affinity and passion for sports.

I played baseball and basketball throughout all of high school. Now I also play tennis, volleyball, and a few others.

I’m also a big fan of the New York Knicks and Rangers.

I’ve always loved competition and enjoyed challenges.

Keeping the brain sharp is important too, that’s why I’ve always enjoyed activities like chess, puzzle boxes, reading, and writing.

Favorite Part of Southwest Florida:

The unique ecosystem and environment that Southwest Florida offers.

From the Everglades to Big Cypress to Charlotte Harbor and Sanibel, there is so much this area offers.

The quality of wildlife calling this area home is incredible.

Florida panthers, alligators, manatees, sharks, snakes, dolphins, eagles and so much more.
