She primarily copy edits and writes but is also a soup-to-nuts journalist with production experience who can take the whole project off your hands and write, design, and edit your organization’s published materials.

I'm a writer. And a rewriter. Shaping stories has been a lifelong love. My feature stories for outlets such as The Charlotte Observer, Business North Carolina and SouthPark Magazine often focus on arts and culture, travel, healthcare and real people with remarkable, but relatable, stories. I'm a fan of brevity and candor and a crusader against corporate jargon.

I love the news, television, and serving our communities by digging for the truth and giving people accurate information about events and issues. It’s so, they can make informed decisions. I’m a big fan of the Scripps-Howard motto: “Give light and the people will find their own way.” I’m an Emmy Award winning news anchor/reporter, most recently for WGCL-TV in Atlanta. I love taking viewers through breaking news and field anchoring. As a proven ratings-getter, I’ve been blessed to have worked with fantastic producers and love working together to craft an informative, energetic, rockin’ newscast. On the road, I‘ve covered hurricanes and presidential campaigns; and especially enjoy producing in-depth reports. My career in journalism started at The University of Maryland at College Park. To pay my way through college, I worked as a news aide for The Washington Post, and as a production assistant for WTTG-TV in Washington, D.C. I’ve worked for television stations in Dayton, Cleveland, Raleigh, Houston, Orlando and Washington, D.C. Community involvement is very important to me. I serve on the volunteer board of CAPN Clinics, a charity of medical professionals who provide free care to people who are homeless and families in crisis in Atlanta. I’ve been an after-school tutor for disadvantaged students in D.C., a career day speaker for numerous middle schools and high schools; and an instructor for college students for the NABJ Broadcast Short Course at North Carolina A&T State University. Right now, I also mentor several college journalism students. I’m proud of my work in Houston and in Cleveland, hosting a series of reports on adoption; helping to move kids from foster care, to permanent loving homes. I’ve been featured in newscaster roles for the TBS comedy series “Miracle Workers”, the HBO series “The Outsider”, The Oprah Winfrey Network’s “Greenleaf”; also movies “Brightburn”, “Shaft”, and “Noelle.” Journalism isn’t my only professional passion, I’ve also earned real estate licenses from the states of Maryland, Georgia, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

Always on the lookout for opportunities to learn, grow and develop, but still do some of my favorite things - tinkering with words, making data-driven decisions and discovering the best cold brew:coffee ratio. What I aim to do daily is what I love the most - share stories. I collaborate with a variety of campus groups and external businesses to tell the stories of our universities, alumni and student-athletes. My work has enabled me to turn concepts into images and stories that resonate with targeted audiences. Key pieces to storytelling have been social media, graphics and email marketing. We are caretakers of a brand and continually try to find the best ways to enhance the brand and its recognition.
