I am an Emmy, National Headliner and National Murrow Award-winning investigative journalist with experience in broadcast and print journalism. In 2023, I was named Ohio’s reporter of the year by AP. This year’s three Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards give me eight in the past five years. Last year was my first National Murrow. Our team has won a National Headliner award for two years in a row. After beginning my career in newspapers, I have transitioned to television, where I have led an investigative unit since 2018. In my first year with WTOL Channel 11 in Toledo, I detailed the legal fight of two men who claimed they were wrongfully imprisoned. The series resulted in local judicial change and the national Innocence Network Journalism Award and a Regional Murrow Award. In 2023, the men were released from prison, largely because of my investigation.In 2020, I became the community’s trusted source for COVID-19 data, trends, and information. My investigative work led to being named AP’s Reporter of the Year, Script Writer of the Year, and repeating as Regional Murrow Award winner.In 2021, a three-night series on a brutal 2011 double homicide reignited the police investigation, resulting in a world-renowned genetic genealogist joining the case. It was honored with an Emmy award.In 2022, we discovered that there were 41 sexual assault allegations in Cedar Point employee dorms during the past five seasons. The investigation has resulted in class-action lawsuits and the city re-examining its relationship with the park’s police force. It earned the First Amendment Award from the AP, making us the first television station in Ohio to earn the award.But accountability matters, and my investigation into the actions of a local mayor resulted in a state censure.At The Toledo Blade, I worked in the News, Sports, Business, Editorial, and Features sections as a designer, editor, reporter, columnist, editorial board member, and supervisor. At The Blade, we implemented Libercus, a cutting-edge web-based publishing system that integrates our traditional and Internet products. I was part of the digital innovation team to create ideas on reaching and engaging readers with digital and social media content. I created a music/beer podcast and hosted a series of Facebook Live videos with nationally known musical artists to provide people with content besides our written product.Journalism still matters. It’s important to give a voice to the voiceless.
