Late Starts Friday, November 20th

Born and raised in the Midwest, I am overjoyed to return by working here at KCAU TV-9. I spent most of my life in Naperville, IL, about 40 miles southwest of Chicago. I developed my passion for weather while attending the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, IL. I was fortunate enough to participate in their storm chasing program for two summers out on the Great Plains. I continued my education at the Metropolitan State College of Denver, where I received a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology. While attending MSCD, I worked as a weather center intern at KMGH-TV, the ABC affiliate in Denver.

When I'm not chasing storms or forecasting weather, I am an avid Chicago sports fan. Go Cubs! I love to travel, see new places, and meet new people. I also enjoy spending time in the kitchen.

I am so excited to be here at KCAU TV-9! I look forward to providing the citizens of Siouxland with accurate and informative weather broadcasts.
