My Resume
PROFESSIONAL ​INFO​​
It's been a wonderful whirlwind from South Texas to the Peach State! A proud graduate of Texas Christian University, I returned to hometown Corpus Christi to work at my first NBC affiliate KRIS-TV. A year and a half later, I packed my bags and drove to Jacksonville, FL for a new adventure in Digital Marketing at NBC/ABC duopoly First Coast News. That was where I fell in love with reporting for lifestyle show 'First Coast Living' on WTLV. I moved to a Top 10 market in Atlanta where I reported on all things trending on WXIA-11Alive for lifestyle show 'Atlanta & Company' for nearly 6 years.
