Professional Experience: I worked as a news anchor at TV40 at FHU. I interned at WBBJ in April and May 2008 and I worked in Productions at WBBJ before starting in news reporting here.
 
News Philosophy: I believe it is crucial to report a story accurately and as quickly as possible. I am not a fan of making the news as dramatic as possible but rather letting the story tell itself.
 
Education: BA in Communications from Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, TN
 
Place of Birth: Little Rock, AR
 
Hobbies/ Interests: I love to play tennis and I have also gotten into reading John Grisham books. I try to exercise as much as possible. I am a hardcore Memphis Tigers and Detroit Pistons fan. But one of my favorite things to do is spend time with my great family. Of course, shopping never hurts either.
 
Family: My parents, Dave and Ann, live in Memphis where I grew up.  My brother and his wife, Andrew and Kathryn, live in Russellville, KY with their son, Luke. I have family in Henderson, Columbia, and Detroit, MI. I must say, I have the best family a girl could ask for and quite possibly the cutest nephew. (Of course, I am completely impartial.)
 
Favorite Books and Movies: The Bible, Pride and Prejudice, and Tuesdays with Morrie are a few of my favorite books. As for movies, What About Bob? is a classic.
 
Likes Best About TN: Having grown up in TN, it is not hard to find things to love. I believe the people here are the greatest and the weather is amazing in the fall and spring.
 
Most Interesting Assignment: On my second day as a reporter, I was asked to meet with Bill Haney's friends and family after he had passed away. It was a day I will not forget. The people were amazing and listening to his life story made me look at my job from a completely different perspective.
