Currently a police/court and public safety reporter for Greater Niagara Newspapers in the Buffalo-Niagara Falls, N.Y. area.

Originally from Rochester, N.Y., I moved to Phoenix in the summer of 2005 to attend Arizona State University, where I was a student-athlete on the women's soccer team. As a 2009 graduate of ASU with a dual degree in journalism from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, and English-Literature, several doors were opened for me to work and intern at several media outlets, which included Bleacher Report, Inc. in the editing and marketing departments, and worked for ESPN in Phoenix.

I have experience at many media related fields in Rochester, including WROC-TV 8, WHAM 13 and contribute articles for nextSTeP Magazine. Other internships included writing and editing articles for College Affair Magazine in Scottsdale, Ariz. and worked in the public relations department to promote the magazine around the Valley Area.

As an ASU student, I was a reporter at the NFL’s New England Patriots’ press conference for Super Bowl XLII. During a ride along with Tempe Police, I was a part of the action and reported in breaking news case, while having the chance to interview prisoners in the Maricopa County Jail.
