Wow, TWO YEARS at @usatoday! Beyond thankful for my colleagues and the experiences, no matter where I’m filming or what’s on the monitor. 😂🙏📺

Watched the Yankees clinch and the Bills win on Sunday with one of the Mafia’s youngest members… my niece Avery! Congrats to Brad and Raquela. Uncle Ralphie and Aunt Shari can’t wait to spoil her for the holidays.

First time on one of these since February 2020. Let’s see if I remember how to do this… #VMAs

I have fond memories of living downtown and workin

I have fond memories of living downtown and working inside One World Trade Center -- and not just from my former employer and colleagues. I walked the narrow streets of FiDi daily as my commute. You saw everyone -- financial execs, police officers, construction workers, food vendors... even the occasional Anna Wintour sighting, all as I made my way into the building's entrance and through security.

It is a small yet accurate slice of the melting pot that is New York City. The foot traffic and the area around 1WTC also serves as a symbol of how this city recovers and rebuilds without ever forgetting.

God bless NYC. 🇺🇸

I’m hosting #AdMeter Live on @usatoday the day after the #SuperBowl. My colleagues are probably relieved that the Bills aren’t in the game. 😂😭🏈

Honored to anchor @usatoday’s inauguration cover

Honored to anchor @usatoday’s inauguration coverage yesterday. Bernie stopped by. It was clearly on his to-do list, but not his whole day.

(BTW swipe for an actual screenshot from our live coverage with him in it)

Work from home... propose at home... a lot happene

Work from home... propose at home... a lot happened in our home this year.

How it started: Hopping on a bus and paying my own

How it started: Hopping on a bus and paying my own way to cover #MissAmerica in Atlantic City.

How it’s going: Not only covering entertainment, but given the opportunity to pinch hit on news and sports for @usatoday. And great to have a conversation again with @sagesteele, who surely enjoyed that #ArmyNavy game today. Watch our chat in this week’s edition of “Weekly Pulse.” 🏈😊

Today marks my one-year anniversary at @usatoday!

Today marks my one-year anniversary at @usatoday! Whether I’m home or in the newsroom, I’m thankful for the chance to utilize my full skillset and tell compelling stories with an amazing group of colleagues. 💙

#FunFactFriday? #FlashbackFriday? Still haven’t

#FunFactFriday? #FlashbackFriday? Still haven’t figured it out. Anyways this week, it’s all about @torikelly!

- The first time I interviewed her was in a hotel room at Dream Midtown in February 2015. S/O to @pamkaye (and @sykeonair @johnmingione). I thought she was pregnant but not because of how she looked. Long story.

- I’ve interviewed her a bunch since, mostly at award shows.

- I interviewed her today! Our interview will be on the @usatodaylife YouTube next week.

- I once ran into her, on the Upper West Side, on my block as I was coming home from work one night! She was with friends and playing the Beacon Theatre that week. I know, small city.

- I have no idea if she roots for a football team and that’s fine because THANKFULLY, the Bills are off this week.

Happy birthday Mom! Love you! Also, I was today y

Happy birthday Mom! Love you!

Also, I was today years old when I learned you can have @dicamillobakery delivered back home. 🍩🍪🧁🥧❤️

#FlashbackFriday? #FunFactFriday? Still not sure tbh. Anyways, this time it’s all about @jordinsparks!

- I first interviewed her in 2009. Shout-out to @jbspd1 who called “Tattoo” being a hit.

- I’ve interviewed her twice since, both times pictured, in LA in 2013.

- Jordin was just announced as a performer for the #MacysParade on Thanksgiving.

- She’s from Arizona, and I’ll be rooting against her Cardinals Sunday. GO BILLS.

Flashback Friday? Fun facts Friday? Anyways, here’s a few things about @ciara...

- I first interviewed her in 2007, my senior year at @syracuseu, in the Carrier Dome! I’ll never forget her telling me that her workout that day was running the steps at the Dome. I was impressed.

- I’ve interviewed her a bunch since, including last month for @usatoday.

- I worked alongside her and Ludacris when I was the warmup act for the @bbmas and she co-hosted.

- She’s always been great to chat with! That said, you see that guy in the fourth photo, far left? Yeah, that’s her husband. I’ll be loudly rooting against him Sunday. #GOBILLS 😂🏈

How it started (when I bought that blazer 7 years

How it started (when I bought that blazer 7 years ago) vs. how it’s going.

I’m thankful to be working. I’m just as if not more thankful to be producing the best work of my career. And I’ve thought a lot lately about why that is. There are a lot of different factors.

Experiences, both good and bad.
Knowledge of my skill set and how to best leverage it.
Increasing amount of skills and improving on existing ones.
An environment that supports growth and content in multiple ways.
Finding ways, monetary and otherwise, to invest in myself.
Health (diet, exercise).
Personal life (living situation, relationship).

Bottom line -- it’s tough! And regardless of your talent level, surrounding yourself with good people and keeping an open mind definitely make it all more possible.

Recycling wardrobe pieces to free up more cash to buy equipment and fund other ventures doesn’t hurt the cause either. 😉
