As you can tell from my job titles above, I stay busy. Very busy. 

Being a long-time sports reporter and videographer shaped me into the business woman I am today — I know the inner-workings of social and traditional media, its many strengths and shortcomings, and how to break through people’s cluttered news feeds to make a measurable impact. I know how to make a tweet pack as much punch as a 5-minute video. I know what it takes to secure ongoing and positive coverage for your issues, message and brand. I know how to broaden and diversify outreach into digital and traditional media. 

Even though I’m a reporter by trade, I’ll always be a PR person at heart. Just as I enjoy building lasting connections between fans and their favorite team, I now do the same for businesses. Whether it’s shooting for you at a live event, editing a video, growing your social media platform, or helping with media relations, I’m your gal. 

What makes me a media expert? Well, after graduating from Creighton University in Omaha, I moved back to my hometown of Kansas City to join Time Warner Cable SportsChannel, formerly known as Metro Sports. I started as the high school freelance sideline reporter before working full-time in Lincoln, Nebraska, where I spent three and a half years reporting on the Cornhuskers and Omaha Storm Chasers. Wherever the Huskers were, I was close behind. 

In June 2014, TWC transferred me back to KC.  I spent the majority of my time covering the Kansas Jayhawks, Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Royals and local KC high school athletics. Whether it was reporting about the Kansas City Chiefs’ first playoff victory in two decades or bringing Royals fans inside the clubhouse for a rowdy World Series celebration 29 years in the making, I loved every minute of being a sports reporter, videographer, and generator of social media content.

Covering some of the greatest teams in the world meant I got to cover some pretty cool events too … the 2015 ALDS, ALCS, & World Series; 2016 NCAA Men’s Basketball Sweet 16 & Elite Eight; 2015 NCAA Men’s Basketball Regional Tournament; 2015 Pro Football Hall of Fame; 2016 AFC Divisional Round of Playoffs, 2016 Royals Spring Training; 2015-2016 NCAA Men’s Basketball Big 12 Championship; 2014-2016 Kansas Shrine Bowls; Big 10 media days; 2012 and 2013 Cotton Bowl; 2014 Gator Bowl, 2012 Big Ten Championship; 2011-2014 College World Series.

When I’m not working, you can find me watching/attending sporting events, shopping, traveling, hanging out with my family & friends, drinking coffee, attending any social event I’m invited (or invite myself)to and watching a lot of movies… I mean, A LOT.
