Good Morning Tennessee news anchor & Voices of the Valley host on WATE 6 News in Knoxville, TN. ☀️Emmy-nominated & crazy for waking up at 2:30am! I smile, a lot. I love DST, birds and books.
Congratulations to Hardin Valley Elementary 5th graders, 👑 Abigail and Tim — the 1st place and runner up of their Spelling Bee! I had a great time (with lots of pressure) being the official word caller!

It was a lesson on “female firsts” on Connie Chung in elementary school that hooked me on tv news. Imagine my gasp when I receive this beautiful SIGNED copy of Connie’s memoir from local author, Brenda Sellers, who I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing.

This week felt 11 days long but we made it to Friday! 🙌🏾

Some of us will see snow. How do we feel about the change in weather 👍🏾👎🏾?
