HOMETOWN: Vincentown, NJ

EDUCATION: BS in Meteorology from Plymouth State University, Plymouth, NH

EXPERIENCE: During college, I was fortunate enough to intern under the watchful eye of Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz at WCAU, the NBC affiliate in Philadelphia, PA. After graduating in 2004, I went to work for WSI Corporation in Andover, MA. While there, I was involved in forecasting and graphics production for several media outlets, including Fox News Channel and CNN International. I also produced voiceover forecasts for various cable outlets throughout the country. My first on-air experience was gained as well, having presented on-camera forecasts for MetroWeather Kansas City.

INTERESTS: I would have to say one of my favorite things to do is spend time with my friends and family, who are extremely important to me. Of course, I am a huge sports fan as well, rooting for my Philadelphia sports teams, especially the Phillies, Eagles, and Flyers. I never miss a chance to play some golf or go skiing and I'm very excited to be here on the Western Slope. I look forward to experiencing all that Colorado has to offer.
