I will always be grateful to Ballet Wyoming for encouraging me to dance with the company while being a full-time TV anchor, producer and reporter…and for arranging my rehearsal schedule to help me juggle all four jobs!

That’s exactly what the court cases I report on feel like!

My first-grade teacher said that I probably wouldn’t be able to graduate from high school because of my dyslexia. I was furious and vowed to prove her wrong. It was a long, hard, road from there to graduation, with honors, from my dream school, Vanderbilt University. Looking back, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Putting in all that work helped me overcome my disability and prepared me to become a news reporter and anchor. I firmly believe that any parents who are cheating to get their children into college are not only doing something illegal, they’re doing their children a disservice. Hard work directed toward a worthy goal strengthens us and gives us self-esteem. None of that can be bought with bribes.

Cheyenne, home to snowy winters, is also home to a tropical oasis. Here’s one of my news stories about the Botanic Gardens, and how it makes our city beautiful with help from volunteers.

Here’s what we do at CBS NewsChannel 5 when we’re caught in a snowstorm, and then our station gets a power hit that knocks out all of our teleprompters just two minutes before the show!

Here’s how I did four jobs in one day for CBS NewsChannel 5 in order to bring viewers the story of a Cheyenne Family who promoted adoption by throwing Wyoming’s largest Chinese New Year celebration!

Some stories are difficult to tell as a TV Reporter. This was one of them. It is a story that is played out every day in an elementary school. The emotional and physical damage suffered by our children, their loved ones, and society because of bullying should not be endured. Witness both sides of this story, and decide what you believe.

We’re talking about Chris Mickey, the Communications Director and right-hand man to Wyoming’s outgoing governor, Matt Mead.

Last Sunday, I had the privilege of covering this historic event for CBS NewsChannel 5. Here’s a look back at the story… If you missed nature’s galactical show, sorry, you’ll have to wait about another 18 years!

After learning of a schoolgirl who had been kidnapped by a rebel group in Africa, serially raped and beaten for eight years, and then escaped, I wanted to share her story on CBS NewsChannel 5. If any of you have faced abuse, this woman wants you to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. She can help you start the journey there.

This is what it’s like to be a one-woman camera crew and reporting team in high heels and a fancy gown who gets the story!

I want to make my Christmas Day broadcasts extra-special for anyone watching who is spending this holiday alone. Here’s a look at what I’ve been preparing.

With just a little time left before I had to start the show, I answered some of your questions about what it’s like to be a TV news anchor, producer and reporter.

Here’s a heartwarming story of a baby with a heart condition who was abandoned in China and the American family who adopted him. In this Day in the Life video, I work with every member of the family to create an investigative report.

Anyone caught up in the joy of the season can appreciate this This Day in the Life video. I covered one of our community’s most popular holiday events! It was so well-attended that I could barely maneuver myself and my equipment through the crowd to capture the story.
