I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor's degree in Electronic Journalism with a minor in Sports Business Management. 

Currently, I am a Production Associate with ABC News on the assignment desk, assisting in many news-gathering efforts for platforms such as collecting and distributing elements for daily pieces and breaking news, assist producing live shots in the field, booking and supporting field teams with logistics, logging and transcribing news reports, writing articles, and clearing social video on reportable stories.

I want to use my combined writing, story-telling, news-gathering, editing, and speaking skills to be a voice for the voiceless and a well-rounded journalist.
