The latest local news, weather and high school sports from the Heartland

I am so excited to begin my journalism career here at KTVO!

I am from Naperville, Illinois, a suburb outside Chicago. I graduated magna cum laude from Bradley University in Peoria, IL with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism. At Bradley, I spent three years working on the campus television show, “Midstate Magazine”, producing, reporting, running cameras and everything in between. I also interned with NBC 5 Chicago, and I worked as a crew member at the Peoria PBS affiliate station, WTVP.

In my free time, I love to read and write, and I have a passion for travel. I studied abroad in London and Dublin, and have also traveled to Scotland, France and Italy. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of adventures will find me here in the Heartland!
