About Me
I am a producer, multimedia journalist, and creative writer graduated from Bob Jones University in Greenville, SC.
Originally from Raleigh, NC, I was raised in a Christian home and saved at a young age. Now as an adult, I strive to serve the Lord diligently by further honing my journalistic skills in order to provide my community with important, truthful information through video and writing media.
My goal is to provide my community, both at home and digitally, with relevant and accurate news in a way that is glorifying to my God as well as honoring to myself and the stations I work for. I believe that positive, productive change in communities and societies cannot be enacted without truth as a basis of knowledge.
To provide that truth, we need journalists.
