It's bittersweet, but I've got one more day left on TV at Local 5. I started in June 2017, almost 7 years ago. Tomorrow will feel weird, but I'm so relieved it'll be the last time I wake up at 1:30am. I look forward to giving you the morning forecast one final time on Friday.
Words cannot express my love for my teammates, coaches, fans and our university - Thanks for making my dreams come true. Wearing Iowa across my chest the last four years has been an honor. This place will always be homeš¤

When I walked across the stage to formally earn a meteorology degree 9 years ago, I never envisioned someday Iād write a post like this. In a few weeks, Iāll deliver my final forecast at Local 5. Iām stepping away from the TV industry to pursue a new, but exciting, adventure.

Today while I was signing up to read to kids at schools in the Quad Cities, I realized that I had to request to only work with Illinois students because I wouldn't be able to use the women's restroom in Iowa schools. It feels humiliating to even have to consider that.
I donāt wish painful forecasting on fellow meteorologists in other areas of the country, but itās nice to not have a nightmarish forecast in the Midwest right now
