HAPPY TEARS 🥹: Zaq was officially adopted today in court! I interviewed him for Forever Families last June. His mom saw my interview with him online one afternoon and she knew he was meant to be hers. Love is a beautiful thing.

Happening now in Downtown Austin: Hundreds of protestors are taking to the streets outside the Texas Capitol following the leaked opinion draft from the Supreme Court, regarding Roe vs. Wade and women’s rights.

To me this highlights some of the dehumanizing things reporters have to go through especially in smaller markets, all for a precious deadline. Also the fact he never said the words “Are you okay?” even after finding out she was hit. Yeah that’s an issue.
Every single press conference in Texas should have someone bilingual to relay information but ESPECIALLY when parents are desperate for answers after losing their child. No one in Uvalde should be left out of the loop right now.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!!! 🍀💚🍀
We’ve got Dublin like weather in Austin today. ☔️😭 Feels odd for it to be this cold during Spring Break & SXSW but that’s Texas for you lol.
I hope your day is filled with luck.
I’m showing my boyfriend around the Texas State campus and I had to stop by my journalism building, Old Main. 🥲 I reported the news for the school’s radio station 📻 and student led broadcast 📺 . Heading to the game now! Go Bobcats! 🏈

I wasn’t going to post this but I want to show what women in our industry deal with sometimes. Here’s a fun email I got this morning. I guess you can’t be everyone’s cup of tea. 🤡
And yes I responded to him. 🗣
And yes I will keep wearing my red lipstick thank you very much.
📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣: This weekend will be my last anchoring the morning show. But it’s not because I’m leaving
@KVUE
, I’m getting promoted to a Monday-Friday schedule! Every morning starting at 4:30-5 AM I’ll be anchoring the news, then 5:00-7 AM I’ll be doing news plus traffic!
Got the truck all packed up! Dallas bound to watch UT Rugby take on Oklahoma tonight (my boyfriend is coaching 🇦🇺 🏉) and then the Cotton Bowl in the morning! Ready for corn dogs at 8 am. 😂 Hook ‘Em!!!!
@kemimarie
My boyfriend moved here from Australia and daily he is horrified by the violence, lack of care for the environment, politics, driving, etc. He tells me all the time he doesn't want to raise kids here.
Proud to be a Bobcat! 🌟
A huge good luck to the Texas State football team as they take on Rice today in the bowl game in Dallas. They play at 4:30 PM!
Where the watch parties at?! 👀
He loves the color red, tomatoes are his favorite food, he has AMAZING manners, he even made sure to share his pizza with me. He goes “please have these slices.” 😭😭😭 He LOOVES video games and even got to meet a professional gamer! He misses his cat 🐈⬛ who he used to live with.
Anyone awake?! ☀️ We’re live on
@KVUE
all morning! Be sure to bundle up as you’re heading out the door. 🥶 Shane and I will have your weather and traffic updates.
HAPPENING NOW: Residents are protesting against the City of Austin outside of the Candlewood Suites hotel. The city plans to use this hotel to provide temporary housing for the homeless.
Neighbors tell me they worry about safety.
@KVUE
A proud alum back at Texas State for homecoming! It was here I first discovered my passion for communication. I had a weekly segment at the local radio station KTSW and I anchored every week for Bobcat Update! Now I’m grateful to say I anchor the news in ATX. Go Cats Go! 🐱
@txst
That’s a wrap to a very busy end to 2023! It was fun holding down the fort this week. I’ll see y’all again in 2024. I can’t wait to see what magic awaits! 🪄
I’ve officially been at
@KVUE
for two years! How blessed am I? To be able to do what I love in the capital of my beloved home state. 🏡 Through a global pandemic, storms, protests, elections — I’ve grown so much, and I’m excited to grow even more here. Love y’all. 🥲
Four years at
@KVUE
! 🎉 🥹 I sure do love y’all. We’ve been through a lot together! So many strangers turned into fast friends and what feels like family. This community means everything to me and I truly thank you for allowing me into your homes everyday.
Merry Christmas y’all!!!! Throw the telly on while you’re unwrapping your gifts.
🎁 See ya on KVUE.
We both showed up wearing red. Made me think of the “Sisters, sisters” 🎶 song from White Christmas haha.
@GraceThorntonWX
Three years today at
@KVUE
! 📺 It’s a privilege to broadcast in the capital of my beautiful home state. I’ve had the chance to anchor, report, give traffic updates, and even take on our Forever Family series. It’s been an incredible 3 years and I am looking forward to more. ♥️
“If I don’t get adopted it’s okay, I don’t mind being alone.” This is Keegan and his interview stood out to me for so many reasons. When I asked him about the future he didn’t have much to say, he’s living in the present. He’s only been in the foster system for one year.
@KVUE
Starting the year off with a bang honey!!!! 🤣🤣 My neighbors probably think I’m coo coo but they already thought that before. It’s 20 degrees in ATX and I’m out in the hot tub drinking coffee with baileys. I’m enjoying the cool air because I know it’s short lived. 😜😜😜😜
How cool is this? A restaurant in New Braunfels opened up their doors to feed some hungry linemen who have been working tiressly to restore power. 💡
This is what Texas is to me, it’s about helping your neighbors. ❤️🥺
@KVUE
Happy Monday Central Texas!!!!! Time to jump into a new work week with new possibilities. Let’s make it a great day. 🦘☕️☀️
See y’all again on KVUE coming up at 8:25 AM! Grab your coffee and stop on by.
I was so cold taking this. 🤣🤣 Happy Friday y’all!! Whether you’re heading to the Veteran’s Day Parade, the UT football game, Wurstfest, or cuddling up inside… stay safe! 🫶
It was a pleasure to emcee 🎙️ again for the annual egg hunt on the Texas Capitol lawn. We had over 300 kids come out for it! It was so good to see everyone. I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Easter weekend. 🐣
@KVUE
Just wanted to say I love y’all. Thanks for the sweet messages following the troll dude. We’re all just out here trying to make it in this crazy thing we call life. Can’t win em all.
Happy Tuesday!!!!! 🤣❤️

and she handled your blatant disrespect with such class. 19 children & teachers were killed. We have a duty to honor them and get to the bottom of this incident. Don’t EVER corner reporters like this. Be better Alex.
It was an incredible night emceeing for
@PFCatx
🕯️!! So much money raised for children in foster care. I’m able to interview these beautiful & resilient young people every week and I was able to share some experiences. Tears were shed per usual. 🥲 A cause so dear to me.
@KVUE
This work week felt like three weeks packed into one. I’m ready to sleep in and chill this weekend!!!! 🙌😂 I’ll be heading to the football game tonight though! I used to live in Lubbock for my first reporting job years ago so it should be a fun night. 🏈
Hook ‘Em Horns!
As my dad has said since I was a kid… There’s a reason so many people from Oklahoma end up in Texas. No one can stand to live in Oklahoma for very long. 😂😂😂 RED RIVER RIVALRY BABY!!!!! Also sup Big Tex?!? Missed ya my friend!
Went to my 10 year high school 🏫 reunion in Dallas this weekend. The amount of people that came up to hug me and tell me they’re proud of me, was an amazing feeling. One former classmate goes “You’ve never been afraid to just be yourself, and that’s always stuck out to me.” 🥹
It’s back to school today for Austin, Manor & Fredericksburg! 🚌 Join us on
@KVUE
for everything you need to know about the new school year! Also please send me your back-to-school pictures. I would love to share them on TV this week! 📸 I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!
Life is better with a little bit of pink sprinkled in honey!!!! 🤣 I hope y’all have a wonderful Tuesday! Go spread some love today, the world sure could use it! 💖
The 80’s called honey! 📞😜 I’m just a gal trying to bring shoulder pads back.
Happy Tuesday y’all!!!! I’m ready for some gosh darn deviled eggs. I always add extra paprika. 💋
That’s a wrap! Last newscast of 2022!!! 🪩 I have my work Christmas party tonight and then tomorrow I’m hopping on a flight to the Land Down Under 🐨🦘 for THREE WEEKS to visit my lover’s homeland!!! I’ll see y’all back on air next year !!! 💋 📺
Growing up in Texas I’ve really only experienced one solid white Christmas that I can recall. But the way our power grid is set up 🥴🥴— I don’t really wish for one. But I will say the 85 temps don’t feel quite right either. So I decided to wear a tiny little snowflake ❄️!!!
I just tested negative for Covid after a LONG ten days of hibernation. The sun is out and melting this nasty ice. Mercury retrograde is over. It’s Friday, and everything feels like it’s going to be okay.
Thank you Jesus. See y’all back on tv on Monday. Have a safe weekend. 🥲
