About Me

I've known what I wanted to do since the 5th grade... journalism. Ever since, I've been dedicated to fulfilling that childhood dream!

Since April 2022, I've been with the team at WJCL 22 News in Savannah, GA. I was hired as a weekend reporter, while a junior at Georgia Southern University, and, three weeks later, promoted to a full time reporter. After graduating, I was promoted to anchor weekend evenings and begin investigative reporting. Since then, I've broken news on and covered some of the biggest stories from Southeast Georgia and the South Carolina Lowcountry. 

Before that, while a sophomore in college, I founded and spent 11 months conceptualizing, securing $34,000 in initial funding, building an 18-person team for and organizing all aspects of a brand new OTT-focused video news outlet producing a weekly newscast called Your Newsroom. 


Prior to that, I was editor-in-chief of The George-Anne, the flagship student newspaper. Leading 13 reporters, I oversaw all news coverage and personally contributed investigative content leading to over 512,000+ page views in one academic year, a publication record. The George-Anne

But my work began way before college. My freshmen year of high school, I created a morning news show, securing two Student Emmys. As a junior and senior, I went on to work for Gwinnett County Public Schools TV spotlighting the good news from Georgia's largest public school district. I also interned with FOX News' "America's Newsroom" writing readers and pitching stories daily.
