Hi all! I'm so excited to be working for WLWT here in the Queen City, my hometown! I was born and raised in Norwood, Ohio, and grew up watching WLWT.

I've loved the weather for as long as I can remember, but it was Cincinnati's severe storms seasons that really grew my interest in weather further.

I didn't pursue meteorology right away. I first earned my communications degree from Mount St. Joseph in Delhi and then went on to complete Mississippi State University's meteorology certification program.

I first began my TV career in at WHIZ in Zanesville, Ohio. From there I went to KWQC-TV6 to forecast in Davenport, Iowa, for a couple of years; then it was on to KRDO in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Most recently, I worked at Spectrum News 1 in Columbus, Ohio as a freelance meteorologist.

While moving around the country, I've had the opportunity to forecast all types of weather: tornado outbreaks, historic flooding, hail events, blizzards, fire weather and ice storms!

When I'm not at work, you might find me enjoying the Cincinnati food scene! I love all things chili, goetta and a good scoop of black raspberry chip. I also love horseback riding, painting, fishing, hiking and spending time with family. My husband Andrew and I have a daughter named Maggie and a dog named Zane.

If you ever see me out and about, be sure to stop and say hello. It's good to be home!
