(MARIN-EE)

I'm the Capitol Correspondent and an anchor at WBRZ in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and I'm in my element when I'm telling authentic Louisiana stories. I grew up in Slidell, Louisiana, among the glorious cypress trees of the Honey Island Swamp, and I became a reporter to continue a legacy of public service.

​

I've carried it into my work, breaking down public policy, chasing breaking news, and working hard to hold leaders accountable. In my time at WBRZ, my team was nominated for a Regional Suncoast Emmy for our coverage of the kidnapping and killing of a young mother and her daughters, a difficult story that required empathy and professionalism.

I am most proud of a story I worked on with award-winning photographer/editor Joel Bruce, about the Texas casino industry, or lack thereof. I won't give away too much, just watch it here!

​

I graduated from Loyola University New Orleans with a B.A. in journalism and a minor in political science. In my senior year, I received the Bonomo Outstanding School of Mass Communication Student award and the 2022 Press Club Scholarship. That meant I had mentors who pushed and inspired me to become a better journalist.​

​

In college, I worked at WWL-TV in New Orleans. In less than a year, I rose in ranks from Desk Assistant to the Digital Team.

While attending Loyola, I worked at the Louisiana State Senate as a Head Page. That's when I found my love for Baton Rouge. I communicated daily with state officials and sat through countless legislative sessions and read bills like they were the latest, greatest best seller. They were to me!

​

I knew I loved the news when I was a girl. I grew up in post-Katrina, southeast Louisiana. At that point, local news was more enchanting than Scooby-Doo. I read lower-thirds instead of Magic Tree House and still look up to the Investigative Reporter I watched that taught me about accountability, doggedness, and humility when it mattered.

​

In all of these seasons of life, I've had a great team by my side. Knowing the value of your desk-mate is the difference between a powerful story and an okay one. assignment. Meeting people from across Louisiana’s lush, rich culture is my greatest privilege, and I can’t wait to tell your story, with a camera and a mic.
