  • Hi there! I am an entrepreneur, journalist, network TV personality, and media producer with a passion for people and positivity. A member of a Pulitzer Prize winning team, my work in TV and interactive journalism has put me face to face with some of the most interesting and talented entertainers and business leaders in the world. Beyond my work in media, I am currently running a start-up company that will be launching this Fall.
  • Over the past 10 years, my professional experience spreads across America, from the charming serenity of Kentucky, to the bright lights of Hollywood and Las Vegas, to billboards in Times Square. I love the art of visual storytelling, and truly I enjoy shooting and editing my own work. Whether its an interview under bright lights or a random person I meet on the street, I believe everyone in the world has a unique story to tell.
  • My media career began at age 15, after a childhood dream of becoming an architect was shattered due to sophomore geometry class at Sacred Heart Academy. I convinced a local TV station to let me hang out for free as an Intern. I was certainly qualified :) , I had an email address and a professional chaueffer (my mother drove me downtown each day before I had a drivers license so I could run teleprompter at the FOX station in Louisville).

    Over the next seven years, I worked in features and lifestyle reporting in Kentucky, what I feel is one of the most beautiful, friendly and heart warming states in America. One of the highlights was working four and a half years as the morning live reporter for WKYT TV. Starting when I was 18 and living in the college dorms at the University of Kentucky, I would get up at 4 AM to go deliver live reports for the local CBS affiliate. This station was like family to me. In the afternoons, I attended class and on the weekends I worked in local radio or traveled with The Speed Channel to cover live motorcross sporting events around the country. Around this time, I truly fell in love with the art of storytelling and delivering information.

    At 22, I moved to Indianapolis to take on a new challenge as entertainment reporter for WRTV, the local ABC affiliate. From theSuper Bowl winning Colts and the Indianapolis 500, to the blistering cold winner months, I covered almost any and everything the Hoosier state offers.

    In 2008, I arrived in Las Vegas to cover the World Series of Poker. After a quick summer, Kentucky quickly pulled me back in when ABC-Disney Media productions asked me to be a cast member on the network television show Southern Belles: Louisville. The family friendly series documented my life with four other fantastic Louisville friends. Meet the girls of the SOAPnet series here. You can now also watch all ten of the one hour episodes on Hulu. It was one of the most memorable, cherished experiences of my entire life and I am so thankful to be chosen to be a part of it. (I am rooting for season two!).

    At the end of taping, I moved back to Las Vegas to accept my dream job – host and producer of 702.tv. The interactive hybrid television show, seen online and on TV, showcases the highlights of living in and visiting Las Vegas. As one of the biggest entertainment and tourist spots in the world, the show covers celebrities, entertainment, and Las Vegas lifestyle.

    As a major technology enthusiast, I am fascinated with the future of the media distribution and the endless possibilities the Internet allows us share, distribute, and embrace information.

    My down time is spent with family and friends, reading, traveling, exploring restaurants, indulging in expensive beauty products, boating, decorating, and drinking wine. I love philosophy, psychology, sociology, and economics. You can usually find me reading a book on one of these subjects. I started writing my first book at age 6, but the DOS computer crashed and I haven’t been able to get over it since. I will always collect books – no matter how many new Nooks, pads or Kindles we come up with.
