♥️ A dream.
Worth repeating: I am a lot of things, including a mom of two… and *officially an @abc7newsbayarea morning anchor.
This is an incredible opportunity. I understand the responsibility, the privilege— and I take such pride in representing the region that raised me.
🗣️ BAY AREEEEEEEA!
I’ve dreamt, I’ve prayed, I’ve hoped.
I’ve worked. It worked 🥹 Thank you.

We are all broken over the loss of legendary @abc7newsbayarea director Jerry Sandy— our station dad.
I can’t even begin to explain how he’s made me better. A better person, friend, colleague, and journalist.
I’ll keep it short and sweet, because otherwise I’d be a mess. Also, I know Jerry would want me to GET IT TOGETHER.
Between the Chinese New Year Parade last weekend, to the Oscars this weekend, to the intro of my wonderful new co-anchor Nancy this week, to mourning a dear friend — thank you all for your grace. Still riding this emotional rollercoaster 😅
🤗 Hearts and bellies full. Hope you enjoyed your breakfast, just as much as the @abc7newsbayarea Mornings team did! What is *your @millbraepancakehouse order?
SPARTANS! 💙💛 @peanuts_deluxecafe is an institution! I was so happy to chat about today’s GRAND REOPENING! Huge news, huge deal. 🥜
The beloved spot often provided the fuel needed, ahead of a big day of my college courses, studying and community service. Only. 😉
