This weekend was bittersweet. I made my Directing debut with TV20 at the Cleveland MUNY Cheerleading Championships, but Friday was my last day in the office. The past seven years have been an incredible experience, and I’m so lucky to have had this opportunity. I have made incredible friends at the office, and from being out in the community reporting. Thank you all for being a part of my journey, helping me to learn and grow both personally and professionally.

 

I started with the station in 2012 freelance reporting, and by the fall I was hosting and producing Listen Up Cleveland (thanks again Dave Brooks for the catchy theme song!), and created and managed all of the social media platforms. Fast forward, and I have left my role as the Director of Programming & News, Producer and Host of various shows and specials, reporter and manager of their social media. It’s been an incredible and fun ride, but this chapter has come to a close.

Thank you so much to my husband Patrick, my family, and friends for their love and support. Thank you to my TV20 boss, Kathy Allen, for all of the opportunities over the years. I will miss you, TV20 family, but I know we’ll be in touch.

 

I am stoked for the next chapter in my life’s journey, which I started today. Anyone that knows me knows that I love new experiences, challenges and thrive on change. Stay tuned to find out where I’m landing next! (And don’t worry, I’m keeping my talents in Cleveland)
