✨Life update✨ After 3 amazing years in Cincinnati, I’m heading to Washington, D.C. to start a new role as a Washington Correspondent for Hearst Television. Cincinnati has become home in so many ways, from the incredible people I’ve met, to the stories I’ve had the honor to tell, to becoming a Bengals & Skyline Chili fan. To my WLWT family, thank you for believing in me, lifting me up, and making me better every day. To everyone in this community who shared your stories with me or simply said hello out in the field, thank you for being so kind and trusting me. I’m walking into my last week of work on Monday with a full heart and so much gratitude. Thank you, Cincinnati, for the memories, the lessons, and the love. I’ll carry them with me as I start this next chapter in D.C. 💫

Extremely scary situation tonight at the White House Correspondents Dinner. We heard loud pops and immediately ducked for cover. 60 seconds before this video, I was taking a picture with a friend. It all happened so fast.
