About Me
My Background
My love for visual storytelling started from a young age when my dad gave me his old film camera, and I spent countless hours making movies with my friends and pets. In high school I auditioned for and was accepted into the Chattanooga High School Center for Creative Arts, where I studied creative writing and theater.
My freshman year of college I stayed close to home and studied theater, but my life-long dream of working in the film industry pulled me away to the west coast. I chose to transfer to Pepperdine University in Southern California, where I ultimately graduated with a B.A. in Film Studies with a focus on media production.
TV Journalist
I began my career as a news anchor and reporter, first at YCN News in Claremonth, NH and later at Vermont's CBS Affiliate, WCAX-TV. I was responsible for researching, filming, and editing all of my stories out of the station's Plattsburgh, NY bureau. My biggest news break came during my first year on the job, when two inmates escaped from Clinton Correctional Facility--a maximum security prison in Danemora, NY. The elaborate escape and the search gained national media attention, and I joined the throngs of reporters following search crews throughout the rural countryside of upstate New York.
Marketing & Communications
For over 6 years I worked with Cabot Creamery, where I led collaborations between the marketing and communications departments and the brand's farmer-owners. I launched new initiatives, including the Cabot Farm Trail web page and Cabot Farm Tour event series, which highlighted opportunities for the public to visit member farms. In addition to my marketing experience, I was also responsible for filming and editing a variety of videos showcasing company events, awards, and products.
Personal Life
Social Media Stars
I have 3 Siberian Huskies who fill my life with lots of joy, adventure, chaos, and fur! I started an Instagram and Facebook account for them in 2017, but their social media following took off when I joined TikTok during the pandemic and started producing comedic video content about life with huskies. They now have over 300K TikTok followers and over 85K instagram followers tuning into see our videos.
