Throughout my career, I have covered a variety of topics from California wildfires to heritage and cultural stories impacting local communities, to staying on top of COVID-19 reporting. I enjoy connecting with people to share stories that matter to a community. I complete daily assignments under tight deadlines, while also appearing for multiple live shots.
