How I Got To The Weather Company

I joined The Weather Channel in 2006, first working in the radio department before jumping back in front of the camera as an OCM (on-camera meteorologist).

Since 2015, I have been happily working for the Edward R. Murrow award-winning team behind The Weather Channel app and weather.com. Over the years, I have produced hundreds of pieces of content that have been featured on TWC’s various platforms.
