As someone who was born and raised in Tucson, I am proud to call southern Arizona my home! I graduated from the University of Arizona in May 2018 with a degree in Film and Television. Shortly after, I joined KOLD as an editor preparing video to air live on newscasts. After about two months, I transitioned to digital where I began writing breaking news stories for the web and managing the station's social media accounts. In January 2020, I created the station's first foodie web series, Taste This Tucson. I love creating and brainstorming original content and helping to provide my community with useful information.
