NEWS IS OUT 🎉! So excited to join the @FoxNews team as a national correspondent based out of Los Angeles.
A big “Thank you,” to everyone who has been in my corner throughout this process. Now - Let’s get to work! ❤️
Hi, @CbzManagement . Question - My coworkers and I at @DenverChannel have repeatedly reached out to you for comment & clarification over the last several weeks. Why decide to put this out now? And why not choose to speak to local journalists early on when confusion started?
Just a little announcement…
Today was my LAST day at @KOAA 🥲👋🏼
No Twitter post could ever sum up the joy Colorado has brought me over the past 2 years. Tomorrow, I head out to San Diego to join the @10News team! Endless thank yous to the mentors who helped me along the way ♥️
#ClubQ Shooting:
A single candle is lit outside of the crime scene now. I spoke with the person who dropped it off. They say as an #LGBTQ person, they come to places like this to feel safe & will never understand why shootings like this happen. @KOAA
#HAPPENINGNOW: “I had to protect my family… and that was everybody in that room.”

Investigative reporter @NatalieChuck
is live from Colorado Springs this morning outside the suspected apartment complex where the driver of the Tesla Cybertruck lived.
Today marks 2 years since my first day at @KOAA ✌🏼🥂! This job is pure chaos… & a privilege every single day. I still pinch myself when I realize I’ve made Colorado home since 2020. Looking forward to what the next 12 months have in store 🫣☺️
Thanks for the pic, @carlll_www ❤️
My real-time reaction crouching in Pueblo's City Hall & regaining access to my Twitter after WEEKS ⬇️ Hello everybody 👋 I've missed Tweeting the news to you ☺️
I’ve seen a lot of stuff doing this job, but today was my first time seeing a woman walking a chicken on a leash through downtown. That’s a new one, Colorado Springs.
Hey, Twitter! 👋🏼
Taking a second to acknowledge that it’s my 1 year anniversary with my dog! 365 days ago I rescued this sweetheart, Skyy, & if you’ve followed me at all then you know she is the light of my life! 🐾
Cheers to many more years! #AdoptDontShop
Trying to find some time to reflect tonight, taking my dog on a walk.
Here in Old Colorado City, at least one store, Little Heartshake, closed to “mourn the tragedy” at #ClubQ.
@KOAA#ColoradoSprings#ColoradoSpringsStrong
When I sent @adamknapik a few stories to submit before leaving Colorado Springs, this was the last category I expected to be recognized in! 🎉
Thanks to my biggest cheerleader @CWinderKOAA for breaking the good news to me, & congrats to all of @KOAA!

Especially happy today that Tuesdays are my “Saturdays”!
Happy #4thofJuly to everyone celebrating! & to all of my newsies at @10News covering what’s happening across #SanDiego ❤️🤍💙
HONKS AGAINST HOUSING 📢🏡: 100s are taking over street corners in University City in protest of proposed housing developments. They say high rises would “destroy” the area, in part because there isn’t enough infrastructure to keep up with the amount of people
@10News
Subtle reminder it’s #NationalRescueDogDay & I promised @KOAARobQuirk I would deliver on the dog content.
Almost 1 year ago, this now spoiled pup was a stray in Pueblo West. She was covered in ticks, no collar, matted & no microchip.
Now she’s stuck with me 🐾♥️
Had to squeeze this in before #NationalLoveYourPetDay 🐾
My favorite travel partner & the best accident ever. So glad this stray dog stumbled into my life back in Colorado! ❤️
#AdoptDontShop
That single candle, growing into a memorial now outside of the crime scene at #ClubQ in #ColoradoSprings
So many broken hearts are on this street corner today. @KOAA
#ClubQ Shooting:
A single candle is lit outside of the crime scene now. I spoke with the person who dropped it off. They say as an #LGBTQ person, they come to places like this to feel safe & will never understand why shootings like this happen. @KOAA
To be honest I just don’t feel like Twitter has ever gotten enough of my dog-content…
So here are a few of my favorite Skyy moments 🐾❤️
You’re welcome & #AdoptDontShop
#BREAKING: The mother of Derrick Rump just confirmed with me he was one of the victims in the #ClubQ shooting. Rump was a bartender at the #ColoradoSpring nightclub. A friend shared these photos of them together with me.

I’m pretty sure this #CarolinaGirl will never be used to the #snow 🥲🥲🥲. Made it up to Monument where the snow is still coming down! But the roads heading up this way were not great, icy and a lot of “Reduce Speed” signs! @KOAA
P.S. I know. My hair makes me look like Hagrid
Is it Halloween? Yes…
But more importantly, it’s my favorite human’s work anniversary. @CWinderKOAA 🎉
Happy 5 years at @KOAA to the person who patiently gets me through every work day we spend together! You are a gift, Carl! ❤️
