I've grown up going to Lake Texoma, so I'm excited to be here to tell the stories that people care about.
I'm graduated from Oklahoma State University in May 2019 with a degree in multimedia journalism.
I started my career at KXII in July 2019, and have loved telling Texomans' stories.
When I'm not reporting you can probably find me drinking coffee, working out, or at the lake.
Feel free to reach out anytime with story ideas!
