I joined FOX 4 in March of 2007 and now forecast for FOX 4 News from 4:30 – 9:00 am. My passion for weather started at a young age while I was growing up in central Florida. In between the afternoon thunderstorms, I would often track every hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean on my own personal tracking map. Then I saw a waterspout in the Florida Keys…I was hooked!
Since moving to Kansas City, I have become involved with Girls on the Run, serving as a head coach since 2008, March of Dimes Bikers for Babies and the FOX 4 Love Fund. I also earned my Certified Broadcast Meteorologist seal in November 2007 from the American Meteorological Society. I also enjoy storm chasing and go out to chase severe weather any chance I can.
When I’m not in the FOX 4 Weather Center, I enjoy traveling, cooking, fishing, running (three marathons and counting!), spending time on a boat just about anywhere and playing or watching any sport.
Along with my two kids and two dogs, we are so happy to call this part of the country home.
