It’s been a busy and fulfilling year of serving central Iowa. Thank you to the viewers for welcoming me into your homes for the past year! Here’s to covering more stories! 🥳
Busy day anchoring my first shows!
I’m excited to be a part of the amazing
@WHO13news
team as a weekday evening anchor and reporter 🎥 📺 This crew has been so welcoming and Des Moines is quickly feeling like home.💙
I’m thankful for the guidance of this experienced team.
Survived the first week of my 2am alarm clock!⏰
Till mid June, I will be filling in on Today in Iowa while Calyn is taking the next step in her cancer journey.
Working with this team has been a wonderful experience, even if we tend to yawn a lot.🥱
See ya on air, 4:30-7am!📺
Officially a M.A.✨❗️🎓
Feeling overwhelmed with gratitude to be given the opportunity to pursue my Master’s Degree in Strategic Communication and Innovation online at Texas Tech!

@JustinSurrency
To be up every morning, delivering the news while battling cancer. What a reminder that we never know what people are going through. Calyn is the epitome of strength and resilience! ❤️
It’s not every day I meet a fellow

As someone who doesn’t know or even watch sports, here are my hot takes from this game:
1. I had to Google where Holy Cross was
2. Their uniforms are cute though
3. That one girl fell, ouch
4. There’s too much running in basketball I could never.

First bite of taco pizza 🌮 🍕
Here are my thoughts:

Happy first day of school! ☺️📚
Here’s a picture of my first day of 1st grade, and my brother Dillons first day of 4th grade.
I have “fond” memories of my mother forcing me to wear bows in my hair, but at least I didn’t have a bowl cut.😬
@WHO13news
Happy Fri-YAY from your fill-in Today in Iowa team! Thrilled to join

I truly love Des Moines…but I’m leaving Des Moines.
I’m signing off from WHO 13 at the end of the month. It’s a hard decision to leave the familiar for a new chance in a new state, believe me.
This city, state, and station have made me a better person…I’m grateful for it all.
Found an old journal of mine listing 2020 goals. If only I knew then the amount of change that would take place since.
Two major moves, two degrees, two jobs.
I used to fear change, and now it’s been one of the major constants in my life.
And for that, I’m grateful.
Rockin’ our red for National
#WearRedDay
to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease.
Heart health is the leading cause of death for women in the United States. We hope you wore your red today and if not, red Pajamas count too.❤️
