KFOX14 Morning News Weathercaster
I grew up in Cerritos, California, a suburb of Los Angeles and have had a love for nature since I was very young. Specifically having an interest in plants and especially weather. After graduating high school, I moved to Arlington, Texas with my family. It was in Texas where my love for weather grew even more, from seeing everything from freezing rain, to sleet to snow and thunderstorms.
In 1998 I was accepted to New Mexico State University and that was when I first lived in the Borderland. I have always had a fascination with weather as it is always changing and can have an impact on our day to day lives. Tracking weather has been a hobby of mine since I was very young and as a result quite often I find myself taking my work home with me.
Although I have lived other places, when I first attended New Mexico State University I couldn’t get enough of the monsoon or summer thunderstorm season. Now that I am back in the borderland I love the fact that our weather here can come from any direction. And I love forecasting everything from the monsoon moisture that comes up from the south during the summer, to cold winter winds that can blow in from the high plains during the winter and the pacific storms that can bring us rain or snow.
