ABOUT T.C. 

​

I didn't start in a newsroom. I started by trusting my instincts.

​

As a young mother, I knew something was wrong with my infant daughter. I was told not to worry, that what I was seeing was normal. But instinct said otherwise. I went to the library, found the medical texts, and within minutes identified the condition doctors had dismissed. That moment changed my daughter's outcome and revealed something fundamental about me.

​

I know how to ask questions, trust what I see, and find answers when they are not handed to me. ​That instinct led me to journalism.

​

Over the past decade, I have built a career as a multiplatform journalist, producer, and on-camera storyteller, working across local, national, and international newsrooms, including Hearst Television, TEGNA, Scripps, and Al Jazeera English. My work spans investigative reporting, long-form storytelling, podcasting, and digital video, always grounded in clarity, accountability, and connection.

​

I am not drawn to the noise. I am drawn to what matters.

​

Today, I am the creator and host of The Journalist Who Cooks, a platform where I break down food systems, food safety, and cultural narratives in ways that make sense to everyday people. Through video, podcasting, and written storytelling, I translate complex topics into conversations people can actually use in their lives.

​

What drives me is simple. ​I want to be a trusted voice people turn to, whether on camera, on the radio, or online. Not for dramatics, but for clarity, context, and real connection. My lived experience as a parent, and as someone who has had to start over and rebuild more than once, shapes how I connect with people and tell their stories in a way that feels honest and grounded.

​

If you are looking for someone who can report, produce, and connect with an audience in a meaningful way, you are in the right place.​
