First story in Texas!

One city north of Austin is using Uber as a makeshift transit system, and it turns out, there are other cities that are using a similar approach to help residents get around ... I had the chance to speak with one organization, The Caring Place, and they say 18% of the 11,000 people they help a year rely on transportation to get assistance, like food. They hope Uber can bridge that gap.

It was a fun challenging adopting a new style of shooting and editing, but I'm proud of my first piece for Spectrum News 1 Texas. Check it out!

Georgetown uses Uber as a transit system The popular rideshare app will double as a public transit system.

Here’s what I’ve got about Austin so far …

- Texas BBQ is heaven on Earth
- The traffic here makes me shed a tear every morning
- Humidity still exists
- The job is going great so far

A bit of news …

Today was my last day working at KOLD News 13. These past two years have been a roller coaster, from adjusting to the “real world” right after undergrad, to learning how to be a better storyteller every day. Starting my career and life as an adult in Tucson wasn’t easy, but boy, I have no regrets.

Thank you to all of my coworkers at the station for putting up with my loud personality, but for helping me grow. And a big thanks to all of you for allowing me to share your stories over the past two years.

Muchas gracias, Arizona.
