How old are your kids and how long have you lived in Westport? My kids are 3 and 4. We moved to CT right when Covid hit in 2020.
How did you end up where you are now in terms of your job, or whatever passion project it is you might be doing? Right after we got married my husband started working for ESPN while I was still living in Chicago finishing up my responsibilities with Fox and the Chicago Bears. We then moved here and after a year with SiriusXM NFL Radio, my husband asked if I could host a radio show with him on ESPN radio. We had hosted radio together in Chicago. We both grew from there. He is now in a premiere role with NBC covering everything from NBA to college football and I moved from radio to sports center to now FIRST TAKE, a debate style show that hits on the hottest daily sports topics.
I started in television right out of college… it’s been a journey but my favorite part about my job is the fact that it is different every single day. I sit behind a conversation desk.. not a computer. When the world is heavy, I, like most others, turn to sports. It’s the great equalizer!! Sports has the ability to bring people together from anywhere in the world! And despite our love for different teams, basketball brought my husband and I together as well (he’s from Cincinnati and I’m from Chicago).
