Long time no see, East TN! A lot of you have been asking what I’ve been up to so I figured it’s time to share. I’m excited to say I’ve joined South College as an Admissions Officer. I’ve really been enjoying the opportunity to connect with students and hear about their journeys. It’s been such a rewarding experience. I don’t take many pictures while at work, but here are a few of me spending some much-needed time with family and friends. Thanks for all the love and support!

ANNOUNCEMENT: I have some news to share—my time at WATE-TV has come to an end. The past two years in Knoxville have been an incredible experience. Getting to forecast the weather in my hometown has truly been a dream come true. Ever since 5th grade, I wanted to be a meteorologist right here in East Tennessee, and I’m so grateful I got to live out that dream. Thank you to everyone who’s tuned in, supported me, and followed along—whether you watched me in Monroe, Louisiana or are now watching me in East Tennessee. Your encouragement has meant so much. While this chapter is closing, I’m looking forward to what’s next and excited for my new opportunity ahead. I’ll be keeping all my social media pages, so stay in touch. Onward to new adventures!
