About
MY BACKGROUND
I have always been a talker, consistently bringing up new conversations and wanting to learn more. After being strictly news television for years, I took a risk and color-commented on an ECHL Indy Fuel game. I fell in love with it, changing the trajectory of my life. Now, I'm the first female broadcaster for the Indy Fuel; commentating the full 2024-2025 season.
My journey has been anything but dull or straightforward. By taking every opportunity I am presented with, I have had some amazing experiences. My dream goal is to be a reporter within the NHL, reporting on hockey at the premiere level. I have shadowed Kevin Gorg, Joe O'Donnell and others with the Minnesota Wild on what they do during games and how I can prepare myself.
My dedication and driven personality will not allow me to stop until I reach my goals. I want to help my community and help others with my voice. Most of all, I want to be a role model to younger broadcasters out there. No one can stop you from your goals but yourself.
