She is a warm, genuine, engaged person that until you ask, you would have no idea about the mountain she sits upon built on all of her various accomplishments.She began as an assignment editor at Fox 5 news two decades ago. She then moved to the Special Projects/Investigative Producer role. Her first assignment was covering the AIDS epidemic, before it was a cause in the international spotlight. She received two Emmy Awards, an Edward R. Murrow award, and a Presidential Commendation from Bill Clinton. She’s gone on to win 13 more Emmys and various other local, national, and international awards.
