Reporter, photographer, editor, graphic artist and sometimes engineer, fused into one body. No wonder the X-rays look so funny. I work for @nbcbayarea.

I’m headed to #Milan to cover the Winter #Olympics — while my coworkers stay back here to cover the #SuperBowl! So what’s it like watching the #NFL’s biggest game from #Italy? Funny you should ask… I did it last year, and here’s what I found: https://t.co/dfa1tx0YzV

It might be the roughest game you can play on skates. And when she’s not winning gold medals on ice at the #olympics, you can find speed skater Erin Jackson playing roller derby. Here's what this adrenaline-packed, full-contact sport is all about: 👇🏻 https://t.co/MdLV7ZIn6C

It’s a holiday tradition that means so much to so many in San Francisco: Christmas dinner at Glide. Volunteers get up before dawn to make it happen… and the secret ingredient is love. Just about everyone was happy and cracking jokes today. Have a look!👇🏻 https://t.co/bDWmB26UlB

It's #juneteenth2025, and there's a good chance you got to sleep in today! Here's a brief history of why, in this #TBT video I recorded right after Juneteenth became a national holiday. https://t.co/UgtHEwzYRs

FOUR!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆 I was incredibly honored to accept 4 Emmy Awards at this year’s #EmmySF gala. I’m grateful for the amazing team at @nbcbayarea, and for the trust of those who let me tell their stories: video game royalty, hip hop dance legends, activists, heartbroken A’s fans.

Just published a piece on #AI in #games. Forget about VR, AR and the metaverse… AI is the Next Big Thing in #gaming, and it’s already affecting the #game industry in big ways. Here’s a little of what I saw at #GDC2025 in #sanfrancisco a few weeks ago: https://t.co/HnQ5GoDyaK

He brought #tetris to the world, and formed a lifelong friendship with its creator. Now, after Hollywood made a movie about his life, Henk Rogers is telling the story in his own words, in his new book. I sat down with him at #GDC2025! Watch: https://t.co/2oE8Xvfa0i

What a trip! We’re one year out from the Winter #Olympics in #Italy, and I got to visit Milan and Cortina as they get ready. I saw the Dolomites, toured Olympic venues, interviewed medalists and hopefuls, and met NBC journalists including @craigmelvin. Can’t wait to go back!

The holidays are the season of giving, but the day after Christmas, @SFMFoodBank and @stanthonysf really hope you’re still in the giving spirit. This is a time when they often see interest in volunteering dry up — even though the need is greater than ever: https://t.co/FS2dVAOcoz

What could possibly be a better Christmas present than a brand new puppy?! 🎄🐶 That wish came true for two Bay Area families this morning, thanks to @hssv’s volunteers and donors, even as the Humane Society works to recover from a major fire. Video: https://t.co/FlG6jWmcAe

This is Lola. She really is a showgirl! By our 4th take, she was looking right at the camera. She’s one of the puppies you can bring home from @hssv with no adoption fee as they make room to rebuild after a fire. Two others got new homes for Christmas! Watch @nbcbayarea at 5 & 6!

Thank you @SF_PressClub! 2024’s awards gala was a reunion and a chance to recognize the importance of journalism. I’m humbled to have my own work recognized & grateful to those who’ve let me tell their stories!
