I'm a reporter/MMJ and Sideline Reporter for pro lacrosse
Based in Syracuse (Market 89), I work as a nightside reporter and weekend anchor, telling the stories that shape our community. When I’m not in the newsroom, you’ll find me on the sidelines with the Rochester Knighthawks, reporting from the floor during National Lacrosse League games.
My Story
I started as a Reporter and MMJ in Syracuse at NewsChannel 9 WSYR in the summer of 2024 covering crime, community events, heartfelt feature stories and town board issues in the area. In December 2025 I was promoted to the weekend evening anchor role where I work collaboratively with a producer every weekend to put together our 6:30 and 11 p.m. shows on Saturdays and Sundays.
Away from the station, I've also had the opportunity to take on the Sideline Reporter role in December 2025 for the Rochester Knighthawks NLL Pro Lacrosse Team. I appeared on live broadcasts of the games on ESPN+. My responsibilities include setting up live in-game interviews with players, report important injury updates as they happen on the bench, and highlight player storylines along the way.
