FYI — This is dormant account. This was the place for all my obligatory work posts when I was with KDKA, but I’ve moved on to other endeavors. I’m only reminded of this iteration of me when someone likes one of my ancient news promos or tags me in their recent post or comment. If you came here looking for me, you won’t find me.
However you can find me in other places.

Dear friends and viewers,
Thank you for welcoming me into your home and hands for the past 19 years. Whether on TV or through your phone, it has been an honor and privilege to reach you and be part of your screen time as Dr. Maria.
From 9/11 being one of my first news experiences to the COVID-19 pandemic being one of my last, these big stories will be the bookends to my news career with many fulfilling volumes of countless patient journeys and medical innovations in between. I appreciate all the people in the midst of dire, challenging, and painful illnesses who have taken the time to share their brave stories with me.
I’m off to new adventures, but I won’t be far away. This page will be quiet for a while, but I hope to be back soon with a new and different twist.
Be happy and healthy, my friends.
