News Philosophy
I work every day to report the news accurately, compassionately, and with urgency. More specifically, as your morning Traffic Anchor, I want to make sure all Southwest Floridians are informed and prepared every morning as they head out the door and onto our roadways.
Education
I received my Bachelor of Communication in Broadcast Journalism at the University of Miami. I graduated in 2017. Go Canes!
Birthplace
I was born and grew up 30 minutes outside of Washington, D.C., in Gaithersburg, MD.
Hobbies, Interests & Community Involvement
I've played volleyball my entire life, and Southwest Florida is a perfect place to continue pursuing that passion! I've loved being a part of several local beach volleyball teams in Fort Myers. I also, of course, love hanging out by the beach and pool, enjoying Southwest Florida's beautiful ecosystem and wildlife at the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve, and more!
Family & Pets
My family still lives in the Washington D.C. area, but I have my two adorable 5-year-old cats, Jack and Ollie, to keep me company!
Favorite thing about Southwest Florida
You can't beat the weather and the people! We live in such a beautiful and welcoming community, and I'm so glad to call Southwest Florida home.

Donors meet the kids their dollars go to

The theme of this year’s winter wine festival is “generosity in full bloom,” so naturally, Artis Naples was in full bloom Friday, showing donors how the children have bloomed with the help of the Naples Children and Education Foundation, or NCEF.

Remembering Doug Garrett

Friends called him the “Mayor of Naples.” WINK News called him family. Doug Garrett is remembered by WINK News as a passionate journalist who cared for the community.
