Breaking News Reporter

I am an award-winning journalist lucky enough to work in some of the greatest news towns in the country: Las Vegas, Boston, Long Island and New York City. Throughout my two-decade career, I've honed my skills as a general assignment reporter, but I've also held beats covering K-12 education, the Boston City Council and immigration reform. I'm drawn to the crime beat, and cut my teeth working crime scenes in Las Vegas, Boston and Long Island. 

At NBC News, I'm lucky enough to hop on airplanes or rental cars — from time to time — to chase some of the biggest stories of the day.
