Digital Producer
Cedar Rapids
I originally started working with KCRG in the production department in 2011. I began as a camera operator and worked my way up to the role of Technical Media Producer. Then I left KCRG to attend the University of Iowa for a Journalism degree. I started back with KCRG in the role of Digital Producer in 2020.
