## What I Do
Lead Editor

## How I Got To The Weather Company
My weather journey kicked off in 2014 during a stint in local news reporting on how leaves change color in the fall (yes, that was a real assignment). Since then, I've called eight different states home, which means I've experienced just about every kind of weather you can think of — sometimes all in one week.  
After more than a decade chasing stories for NBC, CNN and HLN, I landed here at Weather.com. I especially love telling stories that include unique characters, adorable animals or any kind of stop-and-stare weather moment.

## What I Love About Working for The Weather Company
The Weather Company is home to the smartest group of people I’ve ever worked with. Everyone is so passionate and knowledgeable that sometimes we truly forget it’s “work.”

## Favorite Core Weather Memory
I’ve been obsessed with the Antarctic since a trip there in 2023 that included a truly life-changing polar plunge.
