I developed a fondness for news at a young age. This led to me aspiring to be a broadcast journalist. During college, I was an intern at WISN New Channel 12. I absolutely loved the hustle and bustle of the newsroom. My life circumstances didn’t allow me the opportunity to pursue my dream job. Instead, my first job out of college was as a health educator for a Milwaukee nonprofit organization. This led me to many years of working in the non-profit sector. I also worked on the executive team of a Mayor and as the first communications officer for the local health department.
My career path always included me utilizing my communications degree and expertise. I’m still a self-proclaimed news junkie, I believe that having factual and updated information allows us to make well-informed decisions. It is interesting how we have full-circle moments in our lives. I wasn’t able to become a broadcast journalist, but now I host LinkedIn Live shows. I enjoy the process of doing the research for each episode as well as all of the pre and post-production work. I’m not actually in a news studio or at a fancy news desk, but I’m able to empower my viewers with timely information. I guess dreams do come true!
