Born and raised in Northern California, I am a native to Folsom, a suburb of Sacramento, where I currently reside. I spent several years living in Chico while I attended California State University, Chico for my undergraduate studies. I completed my masters degree in communication and leadership through Gonzaga University's online  graduate program in the winter of 2023. 

​

I have been with iHeartMedia in Sacramento since 2018, starting as an overnight board operator and promotions assistant, then moved into the newsroom as a part-time digital writer and producer for the news radio station KFBK. By early 2020, I took my first full time job as the KFBK Morning News Executive Producer working alongside some of the best journalists in the business. For the next 18 months, I served that team, working a grueling 2am morning shift during a historic pandemic, state enacted curfews, and riots. After that role, I went back to a more normal 9am - 5pm role as the Digital Director for KFBK News Radio. Since then, I've been the acting department head for digital news content and recently took up the new role of Director of News and Digital Content for KFBK. 

​

My passions outside of work include hiking, traveling, wine tasting, going to concerts, watching movies, and reading. I am a self-proclaimed foodie who is always looking for the next new place to try in Sacramento and beyond. My favorite way to spend the weekends are shopping at local farmers markets, checking out local coffee shops, or attending fitness classes like yoga or pilates. I fit the stereotype of a "typical Californian" because I love trying the latest food, fitness or health trend and always have an iced coffee in hand.
