It’s another dream realized and I am beyond grateful.

If only you all could meet the incredible people behind the scenes... I’m just the luckiest 💕💖
In one of several “Souls to the Polls” events this weekend, Biden supporters walked through Liberty City to an early voting site.
Today is the last day of early voting, and both sides are working to build on voter turnout.

So happy to announce on Monday I started my new job at

Here’s a look at the multi-agency scene in Sunrise. Nobb Hill Road shut down at NW 44th Street.
Sunrise PD confirms FBI agent shot while serving a warrant this morning. Spokesperson with the FBI told me there are injuries, but didn’t say how everyone’s doing.
@CBSMiami
For days, I’ve watched these men and women walk away from the pile of rubble covered in dust and sweat. Exhausted but determined.
The days are long and still far from over.
Their hearts are heavy and so is mine. I think we’d all hoped for a miracle in Surfside. 💔
In tribute to lives lost, our rescue teams held a moment of silence & prayer near the Surfside building collapse. With heavy hearts, we begin search & recovery efforts, and will continue to give our all as our commitment still remains to reunite families with their loved ones.
5 years ago exactly, I signed my first contract as a reporter in Gainesville.
Today, I marked one month working in a dream market. My home.
God is good 💕

Here’s what it sounded like in Brickell minutes after it was announced Joe Biden would be the next president of the United States. Cheers and pots and pans.

The work out here is as emotional as it is grueling. We are now on day 14 of search and rescue.
Here’s the steady line of people waiting to vote early and in-person at the North Miami Library. Line goes down the block and around the corner. We spoke to a woman who said she waited about 1.5 hours to vote.
@CBSMiami
Such a special visit to my elementary school in Miami today. I decided in 5th grade that I wanted to become a reporter. And it’s thanks in part to the Little Carver News Team!
Thanks to Ms. Gomez for asking to me speak to our future journalists 🥰
It's a busy day for both campaigns in

@CBSMiami
About 10 minutes away from polls opening for day two in Miami-Dade, and this socially distanced line of voters in Doral has grown. Line now stretches just around the building.
@CBSMiami
I thought I wasn’t gonna cry until this moment right at the end 🥺
What a ride it’s been! CBS4 and the people there gave me opportunities I’d only dreamed of accomplishing in my hometown.
I have a couple weeks off before I start my next chapter. Tell you about it soon!

One of the FBI agents who was shot and killed in Sunrise had worked with middle school students for years.

I’m getting questions about today’s protests in the streets of Miami and the Governor’s new anti-riot bill.

At last check, about 100 people were still missing in the condo collapse.

50 Miami Beach Police officers are getting on this bus about to leave to Washington, D.C. They’ll be helping with security during Wednesday’s inauguration. 45 Miami-Dade officers left yesterday.
@CBSMiami
Horrible story developing out of Orlando, FL right now. A reporter and photographer were shot while covering an earlier shooting. One of them has died, says Sheriff John Mina.
This is Daniel Alfin and Laura Schwartzenberger, the two FBI agents who were shot and killed in Sunrise yesterday.
Alfin, 36, has a wife and child. Schwartzenberger, 43, has a husband and two kids. They’ve worked with the FBI to protect children for years.
@CBSMiami
The line of voters at Miami-Dade Elections HQ wraps around the building. Day one of in-person early voting started about an hour ago.
Along with masks and face shields, people grabbed their umbrellas and rain gear. Early downpours haven’t slowed down the lines.

photog Ben Lutman went out of his way to pick me up a giant miso soup. Today, I’m thankful for hot soup, rest, and “competition” who are really friends.
My 2am alarm is off, my work phone is away, and I’m planning to stay off social media a bit (at least I’m going to try).
Thank you to everyone who’s sent me kind messages over the last few days. I’m so thankful and humbled. But for now... vacation mode is on.

It is madness in NW Miami-Dade. People stopping in the middle of the street, getting out of cars, and running to get in line for a Covid-19 vaccine. Police are trying to direct traffic. MDC North site doesn’t even open for another hour.
Oh and it’s raining...
@CBSMiami
NOW: Long line of cars pulling into MDC North Campus. Covid-19 vaccination site doesn’t open for another hour.

For those wondering what it looks like in Little Havana. Biden supporters standing outside Versailles are met with lots of honks and cheers.
There are two Trump supporters standing with them. I heard one say in Spanish “we’ll see what happens in the courts”.

Another heartbreaking update from

There’s a line of people already waiting for coronavirus testing at Hard Rock Stadium this morning. The site opens at 9 a.m. Some of these cars have been here since before 4:30 a.m.
@CBSMiami
“We just want you home.”
Miramar Police said yesterday they were worried about Cavett’s safety. Her family is trying to stay positive but told us it’s very out of character for Leila Cavett to be without her 2-year-old son, Kamdyn.
@CBSMiami
NEW THIS AM: Hard Rock stadium vaccine site is now first come, first served. You don’t need an appointment here anymore.
Site has the Pfizer vaccine and is open every day from 8am-10pm. You’re urged to pre-register at
