Experience

1. Chief Meteorologist

   Louisiana First News

   Feb 2024 — Present · Baton Rouge, LA, US

   I am the Chief Meteorologist for the NBC and Fox affiliates in Baton Rouge, LA. I lead a team of meteorologists forecasting the weather for southern Louisiana. I also provide forecasts for our radio partners and provide all the weather content for our digital business brproud.com. I have developed a plan to expand and enhance our weather coverage into other markets that are not served or underserved in Louisiana and southern Mississippi utilizing our central studio and resources to generate additional revenue streams. I overhauled and implemented a comprehensive severe weather and hurricane coverage plan upon my arrival to great success. I also have started an internship program with LSU to increase our weather staff and efficiency with minimal costs.
