"(S)he who asks questions cannot avoid the answers." ~~African Proverb

I'm an Anchor & “A-block" Multimedia Journalist who leads the newscast. I shoot, report, write, edit & produce content for all platforms including tv, digital & OTT. My work has earned me a NY Emmy, a Humane Society Genesis Award, 2 Gracie Awards & several Mid-Atlantic, Suncoast & 14 Central Great Lakes Emmy nominations, respectively.

I have appeared on TV One, Oxygen, Crime Stories w/ Nancy Grace & Investigation Discovery channels as an expert.

I work as “Sunrise” reporter for WTHR-TV, the NBC affiliate in Indianapolis, IN filing reports, breaking news and fill-in anchoring.

Previously, I worked 9 years for the CBS affiliate in Cleveland, OH. In 2016 I covered the Cavs historic championship, the RNC, Presidential election & World Series. My reporting on “Facebook Killer” was nominated for a regional Emmy in 2018. In 2021 & 2022, I received national Gracie Awards for my “The Next 400” series: #DefendBlackWomen & Digging into the Tangled Roots of Black Hair Culture.

Cleveland Magazine selected me as one of the “Most Interesting People” to know in 2024; the movers, shakers and doers making a difference.

I also worked at CBS shops in Wichita, KS & Gainesville, FL where I was known for my "good gets,“ scoring exclusive interviews in my storytelling.

In 2008 I was a Correspondent for MTV News' Choose or Lose: 1 of 51 journalists covering the US presidential election. I produced content for all MTV platforms right out of my backpack. The initiative earned my team a Community Service Campaign Emmy from NATAS.

In 2005 I shot a documentary, Liberian Democracy: A Journey Back Home, that aired on PBS stations across the US. The film chronicled my experiences of meeting my relatives for the 1st time & coverage of the historic presidential election of Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, the first female head of state in Africa. It is easily the most significant piece I've worked on in my short career for one reason: bridging both my personal & professional lives.

I hold a B.A. Journalism from Ernie Pyle School of Journalism at Indiana University & and a M.S. Journalism from Columbia University in the City of New York.

I serve on the National Association of Black Journalists Board of Directors as Parliamentarian.

I have worked for PBS, NPR, CBS & NBC affiliates in NJ, NY, FL, KS, OH, IN & MTV News in NYC.
