Married/Single: Single
City you live in: Arcadia (on the border of Scottsdale and Phoenix)
A typical day in my life includes waking up and spending time with my Siamese cat Winston before heading to work to produce the 5 p.m. news for ABC15 Arizona. Then I usually head to dinner with some of my close friends or family, or I head straight to an Alumnae board meeting or a Rocky Mountain Emmys Board of Governors meeting.
I was born and raised in south Scottsdale.
My favorite thing about Arizona is the variety of places you can visit for a day trip or on a weekend!
I’m listening to a big mix of music! I listen to whatever is popular mixed with some of my favorite Broadway musical soundtracks. My favorite show soundtrack right now is from “Six”.
My family is deeply rooted in the valley! We all try to get involved in our community as much as we can!
If I could have dinner with anyone it would be Walter Cronkite.
One thing I cannot live without is my cat, Winston. He’s been my little buddy for the past three years.
When I was younger, I wanted to be a marine biologist.
I’m inspired by my mother, who created a successful business with my father, ran for and served in several elected positions, and runs an association all while still being a very involved parent!
The one person who motivates me is my mother, who also encourages me to follow my dreams and pursue new opportunities.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be adding more time into my day!
The perfect day would consist of spending the day exploring a new community in Arizona.
My first job was as a babysitter.
My favorite escape is the White Mountains.
My life is full of time with family and friends.
I’m working on several community projects at ABC15, including our annual water bottle drive. In addition to ABC15, I am judging the regional Emmy entries which take place across the nation. And I am serving on the planning committee for the Rocky Mountain Emmy Awards this year.
Always know when to speak up.
Never think your goals aren’t achievable.
Favorite Quote… “The things that make me different are the things that make me.” ― A. A. Milne
My biggest dream is to explore as many countries as possible.
My pet peeve is when people do not text me back.
