BACKGROUND
HOW IT STARTED
I'm originally from Los Angeles but I started my journalism journey as a Reporter in Albany, GA and ended as an Anchor in Des Moines, IA. In that time I’ve made so many connections with community; telling stories of diversity and tradition. Through conversation and projects I realized how impactful story telling could be, but I also knew I could do more.
In 2019 I was asked to lead an initiative that changed my life. I wrote and produced seven specials, that aired after nightly news, as well as over 40 profile reports on community leaders. Topics ranged from mental health stigmas to police and community relations and adversities from people of Color. In 2020 I went back to school to attain my Masters in Legal Studies to better understand historical context, socio economic disparities and legalities of our world and I began to connect it to unconscious biases and disconnects in community we face today.
From Anchoring Live newscasts and creating trusted content with an audience of 50,000 to public speaking in front of hundreds I have not only the skill but the passion to create positive change and cater to the unique challenges and needs of your request.
