Professional Experience: WCSC Live 5 News Weekend Anchor/Reporter, NBC News Today Show Intern, WPVI Programming & Production Intern, WBAL News Intern

Hometown: Toms River, NJ

Education: I graduated with my Master of Science in Journalism degree from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications. Prior to that, I graduated magna cum laude with my BA from Loyola University Maryland.

Family: Family is one of the most important aspects of my life. I am lucky to have such a big family back home in New Jersey that always s me... including lots of little ones!

Hobbies & Interests: I love traveling and trying new restaurants. I got the travel bug in college when I studied abroad in Greece, and I haven't stopped traveling since! I also go to a lot of concerts and absolutely love immersing myself in the live music scene.

Favorite Movie: Mamma Mia... I know every word to BOTH movies!

Favorite Music: Taylor Swift is my favorite artist, but I also listen to a lot of country music.

Favorite Cuisine: This is the hardest question for me...I'm always on the hunt for the best nachos in town (send me recommendations!), but sushi always sounds good to me.

Likes Best about the Lowcountry: Every day I'm in awe of the beauty, the unmistakable charm, and the kind and interesting people I get to meet at work on a daily basis. You will never run out of things to do or see...or eat! Charleston is my favorite city in the world, and I feel so blessed to live here.
