Professional
Experience:
-ABC 6/FOX 28 Newscenter in
Columbus, OH. I mainly worked in
production, and helped with the
launch of Columbus Idol. I interned at
WSMV in Nashville in the news
department. Anchor and producer at
TV16 News at Harding University.
News Philosophy:
-Local, Local, Local. I try to remain
fair, balanced, and objective when
writing stories. I believe that the
media should not only report what's
wrong in the community, but also highlight what is right. I believe in double checking our facts and updating the community as soon as the information becomes available.
Education:
-BA in Broadcast Journalism at Harding University in Searcy, AR
Place of Birth:
-Columbus, OH (yes I'm from the north...but I love the south!)
Hobbies/Interests:
-Reading, watching FOX News, CNN, Grey's Anatomy, and Oprah. I love to
shop, drink Starbucks coffee, and spend time with my husband. I
also am getting to know people at my church!
Family:
-My parents, Brian and Sandy still live in Columbus. My brother Evan
is at college in Michigan. And of course my husband Kris!
Pets:
-Peaches!! My cat.
Favorite Books and Movies:
-The Notebook (Book and Movie) How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, The
Holiday, any Nicolas Sparks books, any Francine Rivers books, and Gone
with the Wind
Likes Best about TN:
-I love the people!! I grew up in the north, but I am slowly becoming a
southern girl. My husband is from Atlanta, and I love country music! The
warmer weather helps too!
Most Interesting Assignment:
-When I first started working at WBBJ, I was producing the Midday show
and we received word that Mary Winkler would be released from jail. We
were able to take a live shot and cut into the show with the breaking
news. It was such a thrill to be able to bring our viewers the information
as it was happening!
Favorite Quote:
"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that
prevails." Proverbs 19:21
