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

I'm an Anchor & A-Block Reporter who leads the newscast. I shoot, report, write, edit & produce content for all platforms including tv, radio, digital & OTT. My work has earned a NY Emmy, CINE Golden Eagle, Humane Society Genesis Award, 2 Gracies & several Mid-Atlantic, Suncoast & 15 Central Great Lakes Emmy nominations.

I have appeared on TV One, Oxygen, Discovery ID & Crime Stories w/ Nancy Grace to discuss my news reports.

I report nightside at WKYC-TV, NBC affiliate in Cleveland, OH & anchor Friday evenings with Russ Mitchell.

In 2024, I had the honor of working in my hometown at WTHR-TV in Indianapolis, IN. I was Sunrise reporter, breaking news & fill-in anchoring with the BEST team in Central IN!

From 2015-2024, I worked at WOIO-TV, CBS affiliate in Cleveland, OH as Multimedia Journalist & Weekend Anchor. In 2016, I had the chance to do it all: cover the Cavs historic NBA championship, the 2016 RNC, the Presidential election in a battleground state, and the 2016 World Series Cleveland vs Chicago Cubs. In 2021 & 2022, I received national Gracie awards for my series of “The Next 400" special reports "#DefendBlackWomen" & “Digging into the Tangled Roots of Black Hair Culture.”

Previously I worked at CBS stations in Wichita, KS and Gainesville, FL chasing storms, scoring exclusive interviews and honing my craft.

In 2008 I was NJ Correspondent for MTV News' Choose or Lose team: 1 of 51 journalists covering the Presidential election out of our backpacks for all MTV platforms. The initiative earned our team a Community Service Campaign Emmy from NATAS.

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

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

I serve as Parliamentarian on National Association of Black Journalists.

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