“My time at Cronkite showed me that the best you can do is work hard and try; and if they say ‘no’, that’s okay. Get up and try again and again, until someone says ‘yes’. Nothing is going to be handed to you in this industry. You will continue advancing your skills and grow into new ones everyday. I’m excited for the growth and creative opportunities this anchor position will open up for me. As for the communities here, I look forward to continue being able to tell their stories , both in the field and behind the desk.”
