She was previously the first reporter stationed at Time Warner Cable's Washington D.C. Bureau, which launched in July 2011.

Her broadcasting career began with an internship at TWC News' Albany station, then known as YNN. Her interest in politics grew following an internship with the New York Network, where she covered numerous state government stories in the capitol.
