As the Iron Mountain Bureau Reporter for WZMQ19 News, the CBS affiliate broadcasting from Marquette, MI, I've dedicated my career to covering impactful stories in Dickinson County and surrounding areas. From the thrilling Ski Jump competition to the Dickinson County fair, spring whitewater rafting, and vital issues like suicide awareness, conservation, forestry, and the Wild Rivers Invasive Species Coalition, I've provided comprehensive coverage. My reporting extends to election matters, school bond proposals, the Groveland Mine project, city council and county board meetings, crucial court happenings, education matters, rare virus outbreaks, library board meetings, weather updates, LIVE updates from lower harbor (Marquette) and Downtown Iron Mountain, and community concerns on mental health, particularly focusing on teens and adults. Veterans and the local VA hospital are subjects close to my heart.A proud graduate of Northern Michigan University, I've successfully solo-anchored a show with my alma mater's Public Eye News (Channel 13). Beyond news, I find joy in covering local theatre and arts advancements. Currently restoring a historic home, I'm passionate about continuing to write, report, and broadcast stories that profoundly impact our community.I've covered charity events and fundraising efforts, especially for local response teams like the Dickinson County Dive Rescue Team, the Caringhouse, and the local animal shelter. My commitment to community engagement extends to supporting these - and many other - crucial organizations.
