ABOUT ME:

I’m originally from New Jersey, but grew up in San Diego. I went to Long Beach State for my marketing degree but soon went back to school for journalism. As an award winning multi-media journalist and news anchor,  for 11 years, I have worked for major broadcast stations such as Fox local, Nbc, ABC and more. I moved to Las Vegas right before the pandemic and for 4 1/2 years worked for a local, well known publication while also using my social media to highlight the Las Vegas lifestyle I report on everyday! 

I take pride on being a credible source of information for my community and want to discuss the issues that matter most to our minority communities that aren’t being shown on local mass media. 

Vegas is so much more than the strip. It’s time to show you Summa Our culture and why this city is the greatest city in the world!
