My time on KATC-TV 3: Acadiana's Newschannel has come to an end. Thank you all for seeing the value in my work and allowing me to share your stories.

Being able to do this in my hometown was humbling and truly an experience I will cherish for the rest of my life. Throughout my next journey I will continue advocating for you and dedicating my life service.

From the beauty of the Atchafalya, amazing culture and people of New Iberia, to the billions of stars in the Jennings sky. I thank you.

Onward and upward!
