City Driving, It’s a Trip!

Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia has you covered.
It’s About Time
I’m a storyteller always looking for more time. I’ve spent two decades working in television newsrooms producing content and newscasts. Much of my career I’ve spent here in Philadelphia at NBC10 and Fox29. There’s much to tell in a city this size and a limited amount of time.
As a mom raising a child approaching her teens in Philadelphia, I’ve always wanted the time to dive deep into issues that impact urban families. Public education, homelessness, mental health, teen driving to name a few.
I also want to tell stories about all that the city has to offer, the good and the not so good. And I want to hear the stories of city dwellers raising kids. We’re all in this together.
PhillyTweens is a dream come true for me, I’ve finally found my time.
