I've been meaning to write this update for a while, but working, planning a wedding, moving twice, and just LIFE in general caused some delay. Better late than never!
I've been the morning anchor and reporter for Kansas First News for about 8 months now and I absolutely love it. KSNT has given me ample opportunity to not only grow as an anchor, but also as a reporter and producer. While working the vampire shift, 1 a.m. to 10 a.m., this job has challenged me. But the challenges have been absolutely worth it. I love what I do. And even though I could be making more money (A LOT more money) working as a chemist or pharmaceutical sales rep or some other job that's gained with a bachelor's in chemistry, it isn't worth it to me. Journalism is my calling, at least for now, and I thank God often for leading me down this path.
Most recent exciting news: Our morning newscast won second place at the Kansas Association of Broadcasters Awards this year! Yay!

Another fun part of my job: community appearances! I attended Winter Wonderland for TARC, emceed Day of Dance for St. Francis, volunteered with the Boys and Girls Club and performed at their fund raising event, volunteered at the Blarney Breakfast for the Easter Seals Capper Foundation and spoke at their Autism Summit, emceed an art event for the Family Service and Guidance Center, performed and hosted for the Topeka Festival Singers concert... and more!
The best part of my job though? My coworkers! I work with an incredibly talented, loved-by-all meteorologist named Tom Hagen. Kim Reeves worked as my producer for the first 7 months. She has since left to start a new chapter in Washington D.C. Nicole Randall has taken on the role of producer and she is fantastic! She brings sunshine to our otherwise dark, night time shift. I trust our director Tim Claiborne with my life every day on the air. And Rocky Arnold, our photographer and editor extraordinaire, never ceases to entertain me with his sarcasm. We're a small crew at night, but a tight-knit one. I love working with them all!
This field is the perfect blend of everything I love: learning, communication, performance, creativity, and community involvement. I'm looking forward to growing even more as a TV journalist in the coming years.
