Award Categories include:
Morning Reporter & Anchor – KARE 11
I have been working as a morning anchor and reporter for KARE 11 since December 2014.
I am a wannabe chef who hosts KARE in the Kitchen on Thursdays at 9am. I am a one woman show or as we call it in the industry MMJ (Multi-Media-Journalist) where I shoot, write, and edit all of my own content. My main goal every morning on KARE Sunrise is to spark joy in others.. hopefully starting their day off on the right foot. I try to use my platform to help where help is needed with various non-profits around the Twin Cities.
