Professional Experience: Last year, I was the news intern for WBRC Fox 6 and WVTM NBC 13 in Birmingham, AL.

News Philosophy: As journalists, it is our responsibility to be involved with the community to hear your voices. Journalism is a way to share perspectives and stories that directly impact the community. We are here to help and serve the public with integrity and urgency, and I look forward to doing just that!

Education: I have a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in Journalism Mass Communication with a concentration in broadcast from Samford University.

Hometown: Greenville, SC.

Family: My parents, Tracey and Dawn, my three older brothers, Grant, Trent and Cade, and my sister-in-laws, Brittany and Carson. I love being part of such a big, tight-knit family, I wouldn’t have it any other way! They are the reason I am who I am.

Hobbies & Interests: I am a big foodie, so I love to try new spots with friends and family. Within the last year or so, I’ve really gotten into golf and hope to continue with that. Whether it’s a dinner, concert, or a game, if I get to spend time with the people I love, I’m happy!

Favorite Books/Music/Movie: Country music is what I listen to most, specifically Cody Johnson, but I will absolutely blast Taylor Swift any day. I also can’t imagine growing up without Toby Keith-- may he rest in peace. My favorite book is The Housemaid by Frieda McFadden; I simply couldn’t put it down.

Likes Best About the Lowcountry: There is so much to choose from, but I have got to say the shopping. My bank , however, says otherwise. Shopping aside, the rich history here in the Lowcountry is fascinating to me and always has been.
