Work History
Streaming Producer
KMGH (Denver7)
01.2024 - 01.2026
- Worked predominately on the 11AM, 1PM, 2PM, 3PM shows that would air and stream on our stations KMGH & KCDO while also going on the air and playing through streaming platforms. I am responsible for confirming and getting breaking news on air, while also keeping a close eye on developing stories from the morning and overnight, as well as any national news developments.
News Producer
WTKR (News3)
01.2022 - 01.2023
- I was the nightside producer, creating the 7PM, 10PM and 11PM broadcasts for the Hampton Roads area. During those shifts, I was responsible for getting my crews out to breaking situations, confirming and updating major stories through the dayside shift.
- I worked incredibly closely with not just my reporters and photographers, but my production team, anchor and sports departments to ensure all aspects of the show were ready to go for air.
News Producer
WSET (ABC13)
01.2021 - 01.2022
- I did a multitude of shows throughout my time at the station; 12 PM, 5PM, 6PM,7PM, and 11PM broadcasts.
- With no Executive Producer, I was focused on communicating effectively with my entire news team to make sure that my anchors and reporters knew the stories of the day and how we were going to move forward reporting. We also created an environment where reporters and photographers could openly discuss their opinions on the stories they were reporting along with how anchors felt they could improve or add additional elements to the stories.
