THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
My life in Cheyenne, Wyoming, is filled with covering breaking news, motivational stories, politics, and jury trials. Every single day as a reporter and anchor is an adventure, and I love it, but sometimes I want to relax. That’s when I go to Denver. It’s in a whole different state, yet it seems so close.

It’s a Wrap
I can’t believe I just performed with Reformation Dance, Cheyenne’s premiere contemporary ballet company, in “Star Tributes,” honoring the music of Star Wars composer, John Williams. “Grateful” doesn’t begin to describe how I feel about Kathy Vreeland, the Founder/Artistic Director, for graciously inviting me to participate, and the Company members for bringing me into their fold.

The Governor’s Arts Award Goes To…
The incredible Leslie O’Hashi, owner of Bodyline Dance Theatre. Leslie is one of the first people I met upon moving to Wyoming almost a year ago to work as an anchor/reporter for CBS NewsChannel 5.

The Scarf is Your BFF in Winter
If you regularly brave variable winter weather, you know a scarf is the must-have accessory. I learned this tip by moving to Wyoming, the land of gyrating barometers. We have can endure a blizzard one day and enjoy tropical weather the next. My survival tactic is providing a permanent spot in my car for a scarf. My love affair with …
