Some bittersweet news to report today. After just a few months shy of two years, I am saying goodbye to East Texas. What a ride this has been. I moved here from Louisiana at the beginning of 2021, and I had NO CLUE what I was in for. I’d never been to East Texas, and I was starting a brand new career here. I thank God everyday that I took the leap!
While here, I have covered a historic snowstorm in the freezing cold (in TEXAS?!), tornados that devastated our sweet section of the world, political pieces, and breaking news galore. I have highlighted remarkable women that have moved me to my core, small businesses pushing through the pandemic, to-see destinations in the Lone Star State, and the call for action in the shelter/rescue community. I have even had the privilege of hosting/emceeing quite a few community events! Within 6 months of my career, I was promoted to what I thought would be my “end goal” position - morning news anchor. Within the past few months, I have been given the opportunity to anchor prime time. Most importantly, I have met some of the most amazing people inside and outside of the newsroom here in Tyler. This journey has not always been easy, but boy has it been worth it. Thank you all for welcoming me into your homes every day to give you the news. Thank you for welcoming me to the piney woods with open arms. It has been my great honor to share your stories. East Texas will always have a huge place in my heart.
For the next 4 weeks I will be anchoring my heart out on KETK News at 4, FOX51 News at 5:30, and FOX51 News at 9. Make sure to tune in. I love you all. It’s all been for you!

It's been 17 years since Hurricane Katrina devastated much of the south. I was only 7 years old, living in Buras, Louisiana, when my parents packed us up, and we left our home for what would be the last time. My hometown, along with many others, was completely wiped away with her fury... and our lives were changed forever. We lost everything in Katrina, but have gained so much since that day 17 years ago. A day we will always remember, and a prayer that no one has to face this fate ever again.

"I have been incredibly fortunate to work here these past two years. Tyler, Texas quickly became my home all thanks to my wonderful coworkers and the kind people of East Texas.

"This market is full of grace and chances. I'll never regret making the move out of college. Thank you all! I’ll keep you updated on what’s next."
