Coming up on Spectrum News 1, you come along with me on a heartwarming story. We visit a Christmas tree farm with a son who chooses the perfect tree for his mother. She is in hospice care and, for the first time, does not have the strength to join in this family tradition. Here is a preview from my reporter standup filmed at the farm. #HolidaySeason #TisTheSeason #HolidaySpirit #Reporter #MMJ #Newscaster #NewYork
Happy Thanksgiving from the anchor desk! Here’s a story about an iconic Thanksgiving event resuming in New York City after last year’s absence. I moved to this state shortly before the pandemic hit, and I’ve been so grateful for everyone here who has welcomed me. I’m very fortunate to have been adopted by two wonderful NY families, one of which I will have the privilege of enjoying Thanksgiving dinner with after anchoring the news this morning. Then I get to join my own family in Seattle for Christmas! #HappyThanksgiving #Gratitude #News #Anchor #NewYork #MacysThanksgivingParade
It’s game day, which means that I get to cover the Buffalo Bills for Spectrum News! This is my office for now•••aka my car with happy fans outside. Since I turn multiple stories while still at the stadium, I write and edit from my car on my phone, send my reports back to the station, and then head into the excited crowds to film more. #Buffalo #Bills #Football #NewYork #Reporter #MMJ #News
Shea’s Performing Arts Center in Buffalo is famous for launching Broadway touring productions. I covered them from the time I arrived in New York until Covid-19 closed the theatre doors. Eighteen months later, they reopened and I had the privilege of being the Broadway reporter again. At every performance of the 2021-2022 season, excited patrons have greeted the company with a standing ovation. The lead dancer in the upcoming Nutcracker echoed their feelings as she confided, “From the moment that I was outside of the building − I wasn’t even in − my heart was already screaming of happiness!”
Here is my story about the return of theatre. The full report is on SpectrumLocalNews.com #Broadway #Plays #Theatre #Shows #TheBandsVisit #Nutcracker #Journalist #Reporter #MMJ
“People are looking for…the wow factor.” This is how WNY realtor, Michael Hartke, explains changes the pandemic has made in the types of homes families are searching for.

Here’s a picture from Girls Night with one of my first Buffalo friends. I met Maggie while doing a news story at the start of the Covid-19 shutdown. Afterwards, she took me on hikes down some beautiful trails. This week, we reunited for our first indoor event since the pandemic began…dinner and the theatre! #GirlsNight #Friends #Theatre #Buffalo #NewYork
