Most Memorable Stories: The first time I covered a sitting president. I reported on President George W. Bush during a trip to Arkansas. Also, a story about a young kid who climbed into one of those crane machines at a department store and got stuck. He ended up sitting in there with the stuffed animals. It made national news.

Something most people don't know about me: I interned for the last season of The Morning Exchange here at NewsChannel5.

What I like best about Northeast Ohio: This is home for me: my family.

You're most likely to see me around town: On the west side, though I’m looking forward to exploring the east side more. If you can’t find anything to do here you’re not looking very hard.

On the weekends I love to: Relax and travel.

Additional Info: I truly care about the issues and stories that effect northeastern Ohio. I look forward to using my experience and skills to bring you the news you want and need. It’s great to be home.
