My producing and on-camera career started while going to college in San Diego, CA with Cox Communications. I  was the host of a local cable show,  “Backstage Pass.”  This entertainment driven show allowed me to interview Hollywood celebrities and cover red carpet events for such things as the MTV Movie Awards and Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards.  Also, during this time, I was interning with the show “EXTRA” and was featured as a one-time special correspondent.

Soon after graduating from college, I couldn’t wait to land my first job in Los Angeles.  My first national show was “Home and Family” taped right on the Universal Studios Lot. I was in TV heaven! I was the Talent Executive Assistant. I helped to coordinate and write all of the celebrity segments. 

During my time in L.A., I also was a producer for Lifetime TV, MTV and USA Network.

While I enjoyed the excitement of the entertainment world, I then decided to pursue my news career.  My first anchor/reporting job was in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I’m originally a farm girl from Thermopolis, Wyoming. So, I was thrilled to be getting back to my roots. While in Cheyenne, I launched a brand new morning show, “Rush Hour.”  I also anchored in Casper, Wyoming.

Now, I’m staying put for good! I have had my eyes set on the Denver market for years.  Not only do I get to produce “Colorado and Company,” but I also feature my “Meals in a Rush” segment every Thursday. You can check out my website at www.MealsInARush.com or Facebook me at "Meals in a Rush."  Then each Friday, I highlight community events during "Rushin’ Around ." It's a great honor to fill-in host when Denise has the day off!  Another highlight at Channel 9,  is receiving a Heartland Emmy for my interview with Governor Bill Ritter and First Lady, Jeannie Ritter about their life in Africa. I guess it's easy to say, landing this job at Channel 9 is a dream come true!
