I’m the Chief Meteorologist for CBS 8 in San Diego. I have worked as a Broadcast Meteorologist for over 13 years. Prior to working in San Diego, I worked in Miami, Florida, and Palm Springs, California. I’m often asked what I love most about what I do. I love the potential to make a difference in someone’s life. Whether it is making someone laugh, helping you navigate your day or week through my forecasting, shedding light on an environmental issue you weren’t aware of, or showing younger generations, especially minorities, and girls, that this is an attenable career for you, are all examples of why I love my job.
| Q: What advice would you give to people?
Be kind to yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. It’s how you recover and learn that helps you grow as a person. |
