All Things Considered

My journalism career started in college when I worked as a reporter and Weekend Edition host for WEKU-FM, an NPR member station in Richmond, KY. I graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with a B.A. in broadcast journalism.

Most recently, I worked at Iowa Public Radio as a reporter and fill-in host for Morning Edition and All Things Considered. Much of my reporting in Des Moines focused on the GOP Presidential Primary and the Iowa Caucuses. 

I grew up in Clearwater, Florida and now I’m looking forward to enjoying Colorado life. Please contact me via email regarding suggestions, feedback or story ideas.
