While still there, she covered a number of developing stories ranging from the Twin Peaks biker shootout to the West Fertilizer Plant explosion and contributed to the station’s live coverage of Baylor University’s alleged sexual assault cases.
She then later moved back to Denver, the Rocky Mountain region. There, she undertook the role to work as a Denver 7 Morning Reporter with the 7News team. There, she happened to cover the terribly cold winters, the Taylor Swift trial, among other issues impacting one of the most beautiful states she could ever call home.
