"This Friday will be my last on KXAN Today, Nonstop Weather & Traffic and KXAN News at Noon.
In the past 11 years I’ve learned and matured at KXAN News and feel very grateful for my time in the newsroom.
As my family has grown, I found that I need to make adjustments to my work life that better fit my home life. I’m sure many of you can relate.
I’ve been blessed to work with incredible people and very lucky that you have all been so kind and supportive.
Stay positive and stay safe."
