I joined Toledo's biggest morning news team in August of 2012 as a developing story and investigative reporter for WTOL's Your Morning and a co-anchor on FOX Toledo's Daybreak. Now, you can see me at night on FOX Toledo at 6:30 & 10!

I grew up in the small town of Bear, Delaware, and graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in Leadership. I later went on to get my MBA from Wilmington University. My first job was at the Fox News Channel in New York City as a production assistant.  At Fox, I learned how to write and produce and even had the opportunity to work in the entertainment department, covering red carpet events, movie screening, and press junkets. I interviewed celebrities like Tom Cruise, Eva Mendes, and Josh Groban.  But, my favorite interview was definitely George Clooney--I'm sure you can guess why!

After Fox, I became an evening anchor and host of a Sunday morning show in Salisbury, MD.  In my time there, I covered current stories across Delmarva including Hurricane Irene and the legal status of Civil Unions in the state of Delaware.  In 2011 I received an Associated Press Award for my coverage of a tornado that hit Lewes, Delaware.  I also hosted a one hour behind the scenes special on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which won a Telly Award.

In my free time I love being active! I've run in many races over the past few years including a Half Marathon in NYC and a Triathlon--just don't ask me my times! I love being with family and friends and of course, watching reality television.  It's an addiction!
