Career update: After 2 1/2 years with WAAY 31 News, my time in Huntsville, AL is coming to a close. This chapter of my life has been nothing short of transformative. The amount of opportunities, experiences, friends and connections I’ve made across the Tennessee Valley has truly been a blessing. Thank you to WAAY for believing in this midwesterner, and thank you to anyone and everyone who has helped me along the way.
I’m happy to announce that my growth here has propelled me into my next job opportunity. I will be starting at Fox 17 in Grand Rapids, MI continuing as a MMJ in December.
My last day on air at WAAY 31 will be this Wednesday, November 19th.
Thank you north Alabama for everything
