After graduating from Creighton University in Omaha, I moved back to my hometown of Kansas City to join Time Warner Cable SportsChannel, formerly known as Metro Sports. I started as the high school freelance sideline reporter before working full-time in Lincoln, Nebraska, where I spent three and a half years reporting on the Cornhuskers and Omaha Storm Chasers. Wherever the Huskers were, I was close behind. In June 2014, TWC transferred me back to KC where I spent the majority of my time covering the Kansas Jayhawks, Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Royals and local KC high school athletics. Whether it was reporting about the Kansas City Chiefs’ first playoff victory in two decades or bringing Royals fans inside the clubhouse for a rowdy World Series celebration 29 years in the making, I loved every minute of being a sports reporter. In January 2017, my husband and I moved to St. Paul, Minnesota and I opened my own company, Falco Creative Media, a video production company. My ultimate goal is to capture and create innovative, unique video marketing content that makes my clients happy. I am dedicated to translating your vision into exceptional, compelling video that reaches and engages with your target audience. I strive to exceed expectations during production and post-production to make sure deadlines are met and the highest quality video is delivered. The driving force comes from my passion for videography, storytelling and editing. I am here to showcase your business, bring awareness to your brand and keep you relevant in today’s market.
