It’s been a busy month…packing up 30 years of Memphis memories is no easy task. Getting settled in Orlando BUT have some exciting news to share that will have me back in the 901 on the regular!! Stay tuned! #ɢʀɪᴛᴀɴᴅɢʀɪɴᴅ

It’s a Friday happy hour! Are you happy? I am. Officially 3 weeks into the new job and love having normal hours and the freedom to enjoy a glass of wine with my wife!

Today I’m thrilled to announce my next chapter as I leave behind a TV news career that spanned almost 30 years of telling the stories of Mid-Southerners.

Starting March 24th, I’ll be sharing the stories of Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare in the role of Director of Strategic Communications! l am thrilled beyond words to be joining the communications team for Methodist Le Bonheur’s six incredible hospitals in the Memphis area.

When deciding it was time to move on from local TV news, I knew I had to work for an organization whose mission I passionately believe in. Methodist Le Bonheur’s more than 100-year history in Memphis, not to mention its consistent ranking as one of the top 75 healthcare systems in the entire country, definitely qualifies.

We are all fortunate to have Methodist Le Bonheur and their team of thoughtful professionals focused on providing quality, accessible and compassionate care to our community.

Not just its many hospitals, outpatient facilities and minor medical clinics, but also initiatives such as “Healthier 901” - which is just one example of how MLH is invested in improving every life it touches. I can’t wait to tell the exciting stories coming out of this amazing healthcare system every day!

My last day on ABC24 will be March 19th. Again, thank you for allowing me into your homes each night. Your support has meant so much!
