Work History

Anchor/I-Team Reporter

WRDW-TV
Augusta , Georgia
01.2007 - Current

During my 15 years at News 12 NBC 26, I've investigated stories at the local, state, and federal level. In April 2022, my decade-long investigation into military housing at Fort Gordon was cited nine times in a Senate report and used as evidence during a hearing on Capitol Hill. Earlier in 2022, my investigation into an alleged child molester out on bond for more ten years resulted in his guilty plea and conviction. As a tenured anchor, my responsibilities have included mentoring entry-level journalists in newscast producing, editorial judgement, editorial decision making, presentation, and broadcast-style writing. I contribute both individually and as a member of the team to the newsroom's multimedia/digital platforms.

News Anchor - Reporter

WZVN ABC-7
Fort Myers, Florida
12.2004 - 12.2006

As a weekend anchor, my duties included a supervisory role in the absence of managers, including leading editorial meetings/discussions and helping with reporter assignments. I was also responsible for script approval. During the week, I was assigned to the investigative unit where I turned in-depth consumer stories.

News Anchor - Producer - Reporter

KCAU Channel 9 Eyewitness News

Hired as an MMJ, I was promoted to Morning-Midday anchor within just a few months. I also frequently produced and edited video for both newscasts. I was also the overnight breaking news photographer. I frequently turned stories for evening newscasts as well.
