I am a weekend anchor and weekday reporter at FOX 2 who is back working in my hometown.
It took 13 years of learning the ropes, but now I'm home doing what I love! As a reporter I arrived back in Detroit just in time to see a city in the middle of rebuilding itself.
After growing up in Troy and attending MSU (Go Green!) I got my start in TV in Lansing. I then ventured out to horse country, spending sometime in Lexington, Ky. I realized that I was pure Michigan when I took a job that got me closer to home, working in Grand Rapids.
Close was just not good enough for me so here I am back in the D.
If I'm not on air, chances are I'm sampling some of the best music Detroit has to offer having attended hundreds of live concerts over a lifetime.
I love that my job takes me in different directions everyday and allows me to give people a voice they may not otherwise have.
If it's important to you... It's news to me.

How MySALT AI builds trust in artificial intelligence and rebuilds personal connections
The core idea behind My Salt AI is to address the growing "trust gap" that people have with AI, specifically the concern about sharing personal information with companies. The inventors claim their platform is different because it's designed to allow users to build a "vault of their own information" that their personal AI can then utilize, rather than selling user data for targeted ads.
