"I have covered many severe weather events, but one of my most memorable was the 'Christmas Day snowstorm' of 2017 that buried Erie, PA in nearly 4 feet of snow in just 2 days."
It’s great to be back in Bowling Green, Kentucky where I launched my career in journalism covering SOKY in 2010. My various newsroom roles including multi-media journalist, producer, intern coordinator and most recently digital executive producer make me uniquely qualified to be WBKO’s newsroom leader.
