Back To Connecticut! Starting A Family & Rejoining My FOXCT Family

It has been my dream to become a meteorologist in NYC since I was a little girl. I can’t tell you how surreal it is to have succeeded! I spent four exciting months working at PIX11 News, sharing the morning weather duties with Linda Church (who is one of my favorite people). But as many of you know, I’m pregnant with a baby boy!  It’s funny how your priorities shift when you’re growing a tiny human.  Family comes first. After much thought and consideration my husband and I decided it would be best for our growing family to return to Connecticut.

I’m so incredibly thankful to have had the opportunity to work in the #1 market. I learned a lot about myself and made a ton of new friends.  I’m also very thankful that FOXCT has welcomed me back with open arms. I really missed my friends, family and coworkers. Even though I grew up in NYC, somewhere down the line Connecticut started to feel more like home to me. My husband is from the greater Hartford area so he's excited to return to his roots! We have an incredible support system as we begin a new chapter of our lives. 

I’m thrilled to get back to work with the FOXCT weather family including Joe, Dan, Sam, Bob… and a special thank you to Matt for filling my spot and then graciously welcoming me back to my old position.  Starting on Monday you can watch me on the FOXCT News at 4pm, 5pm, 10pm and 11pm.  I can't wait! Thank you once again for all the love and support!


I look a little different from the last time you saw me!

Always enjoying your positive outlook on life and while there are always challenges, it will carry you both through! Welcome back!
