What are some of the biggest news stories you have covered or led coverage of?

I'm proud to have been a part of several important stories since I joined KPAX. Our coverage during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic helped get critical information to the community. Our field newscasts have also highlighted issues impacting the state, such as the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples crisis and Flathead Lake's historically low water levels, to name just a few.

What is your philosophy on news?

Local news is the voice of the community.

What do you love about living here?

I love that Missoula is different from where I grew up, but still home, just with better live music opportunities!
