It is great to be back in my home state of Texas! Born in Dallas, I have always enjoyed performing and bringing news to the public. From ballet to ice-skating, to cheerleading and on-stage performances, I eventually shifted my interest to focus on writing and current events. My goal has been to cover human interest and entertainment stories. Once I was ready for college I moved to the Mid-West to attend the University of Missouri-Columbia, Go Mizzou! There I focused on developing my skills in the field of communication. I worked at the NBC-affiliate, KOMU-TV8, where I obtained the foundation of my broadcast experience. After graduation I decided to move back to Texas with eager hopes for my future in broadcast. Now, I am part of the DFWReporting.com team! I see DFWReporting.com as a perfect opportunity for me to bring you the best stories throughout the metroplex. In my spare time I like to be out-in-about the city, enjoying live music, eating at great restaurants or viewing the latest fashion trends at Northpark. Please feel free to contact me with any story ideas for DFWReporting.com or to just say hello. I would love to hear from you!
