News Philosophy:
I grew up in the courtroom—my father was the District Attorney and my mother was also a family lawyer. My affinity for criminal law was honed at a young age. And while many of the stories I cover are tragedies, I am committed to handling the victims of violent crimes and their families with extreme sensitivity. I have been profoundly touched by the people who I have met along the way. Although some may see the stories I cover as depressing, I see them as an opportunity to show the public how even in the depths of despair there is strength and resilience. I am honored to be invited into the homes and the hearts of the people I interview.
Television news has also given me the unique opportunity to take a ride on the coattails of other people’s adventures. Whether I am watching doctors perform brain surgery in Africa, being pummeled by hurricane or being taught how to navigate a riptide, I never tire of the opportunity to learn something new. Curiosity is the fuel behind all good journalism. My career has given me a window into the world and into so many diverse people’s lives. It’s an education I couldn’t have achieved any other way. And at the core of everything I do is storytelling. Everyone, and I mean everyone, has a story to tell. I hope to keep telling them for a very long time.
