Experience:
KTHV: Anchor/Multi-Media Journalist – Little Rock, AR Oct 2015 – Present
On a day-to-day basis at THV11, I am leading the 6pm newscast; inside the courtroom when a controversial decision is made, at the prison as the execution is completed, or live in the field with the exclusive information. I was featured on CBS Evening News when 28 people were shot inside a Little Rock nightclub, and reported for Tegna sister station, KHOU, after Hurricane Harvey. I am also the THV11 Saturday Morning anchor. Since I took on the role, we’ve incorporated more political interviews with state and national leaders addressing the concerns of Arkansans. Those sources were developed in my time at the State Capitol covering the 2016 Legislative Session.

This time last year we fostered this little quarantine pup. Lizzie (now Piper) was the BEST. We truly hated to see her go (tears were shed).
4I’m happy to report Piper is happy, healthy, & thriving. Her mommies keep me up to date. It brings such joy to my ❤️.

Can’t hear a DMX song without cheer camp flashbacks.
Was just thinking about the war in Afghanistan this morning, about how the 20 year anniversary of the U.S.’ longest conflict was approaching, & reflecting on the fact that many don’t even realize we are still at war. 20 years seems long enough.
