Long time no see! Well, big news, today is my last day reporting for @ActionNewsJax

I came into this newsroom three years ago and worked up the ladder from producer to full-time reporter, but now it’s time for a change!

Thanks for everything, #Duuuval! Next steps coming soon!

Doesn’t get much more Florida than this.
