As a storyteller and broadcast media professional, I am passionate about sharing truthful, meaningful stories that will impact communities. I have a BA in Communications (Broadcast Journalism Emphasis) and a minor in Editing from Brigham Young University, where I honed my writing and journalism skills through various internships, projects and awards.I currently work as a morning news anchor at KIFI News Group, where I anchor, produce and edit news stories on a variety of topics. I also adapt news stories for web and social media, record daily news updates for local radio stations, and act as a station representative at local community events and galas. I am proud of being part of a team that has worked tirelessly to build up our brand and better our product. I am excited to see where this industry takes me and to connect with other media professionals.
