I'm currently on medical leave from News 5 due to my cancer diagnosis, but I hope to return soon! Newhouse School of Public Communications.

I joined the News 5 Cleveland team in March 2019, after spending more than three years as a reporter at NBC4 in Columbus. There, I worked the morning shift for two years, waking up at 1:30 a.m. to bring Central Ohio the news of the day starting at 4 o'clock. Before moving to Columbus, I worked as a nightside reporter at NBC 10 in Providence, Rhode Island from 2014 to early 2016, and as a one-man-b

and reporter in Huntington/Charleston, West Virginia from 2013 to 2014. I'm a graduate of Cornell University and Syracuse University's S.I. I was born and raised in Syracuse, NY. My husband Brett is a broadcaster for Columbus Crew SC, and he's originally from Northeast Ohio (near Youngstown). We live on the West Side suburbs with our dog, Buster.

Three years ago today (10/27/2020), I was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma at 31 years old. I officially finished chemo this summer. Yesterday, I received confirmation that I am still in remission and MRD-negative!

In a few weeks, I'll be speaking at a young adult blood cancer panel in Cincinnati, through The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I'm happy to be a volunteer (and Board of Trustees fellow) for this amazing organization and to share my own experience, both here and in general, in the hopes of helping other young adults with cancer.
