Ever since I was a little kid, I've been very interested in news and weather. We got a bit of everything from where I grew up northeast of Atlanta. We had rain and severe thunderstorms, summertime heat and humidity, the occasional tropical system, and even a snow or ice storm from time to time. When big time storms were rolling in, you would find me glued to the weather on TV. I attended the University of Georgia and graduated with a degree in Atmospheric Sciences and Geography. While at UGA, I had the chance to intern with the TV station I grew up watching, WSB-TV. After my internship, I was fortunate to land a job in my home state. I became a meteorologist with WMAZ in Macon, Georgia. I helped our team of meteorologists cover Hurricane Michael, a tornado outbreak in March of 2019, flooding in the spring of 2020, and several other weather events along the way. I grew a lot and became an AMS Certified Broadcast Meteorologist. After almost three years at WMAZ and my entire life in Georgia, it was time for a change. I wanted to move north and experience four true seasons. I also wanted to experience a "real" winter. Luckily, a door opened for me to join WHIO-TV! I began working at WHIO in June of 2021. In my first year and a half here, we've already covered several snowstorms, an ice storm, and a few different bouts of severe weather. I'm so fortunate to be a part of this team.
