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.

MIDSOUTH: I need your help!
A low-income senior community has been w/out guests or social workers for weeks.
They’re independent in their own apartments, but they survive on very little.
They reached out terrified to leave their homes but have no supplies.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Y’all didn’t stay home, so now if you’re caught breaking the #SaferAtHome rules, you are going to get charged.
I’ll tell you what sort of penalty you’re facing next on @FOX13Memphis at 5.
Check this out: the Shelby County Fire ambulances are getting a deep cleaning today thanks to ServiceMASTER by Cornerstone.
