🎸🤘My style as a journalist is to plant myself right in the middle of whatever story I’m covering. Last night I learned not to do that in when the crowd starts moshing. 😂
But hey — look how fast I grabbed my phone back and still got my shot. #Reporter 👍😎 #MeetMeInTheHotSeat

I’m so honored to be recognized for my work at both of my “Utica schools” — the Utica City School District and Utica University. I want to thank my students for or inspiring me. I honestly don’t feel like I know how to be a “good teacher.” So I just try to be the best role model I can be, 24/7. 👍😎
