NYC Covered in Thick Smoke
In the beginning of June, Canadian wildfires center giant clouds of smoke bellowing over New York City, turning the skies orange
Migrant Crisis
This is a story I did outside of the Roosevelt Hotel during the NYC migrant crisis. The Roosevelt Hotel shut down during the COVID 19 pandemic and this hotel was used as a respite center
Desk Read (Taxi)
This Taxi-Cast was one of the first times I got in front of a camera at Eyewitness News. I covered the guinea pig sale ban, the 100th anniversary of Forest Hills Stadium, as well as Wicked breaking history as the forth longest running play on Broadway
Weather
Here is a weather hit I did on July 26th, 2023. Working with Meteorologist Dani Beckstrom to get the full experience of what it means to report the weather for a major local news network
Jamaica Queens House Fire
This was a story I did while shadowing ABC7NY reporter Derick Waller. Derick Waller's mentorship has been so critical in my ability to tell stories. Unfortunately, in this case, a one year old died in an upstairs apartment fire in Queens
Traffic
Here are the major traffic stories from May 31st, 2023. This was my first time doing work in front of a green screen. Working with Heather O'rourke is always a pleasure
