My husband and I are what many would call "small town." I grew up in Clarence, Missouri in the northeast corner of the Show Me state.

My mom is a teacher and my dad a police officer, so it was hard to get by with anything as a kid but I still managed to challenge them every day. That determination is paying off today... I still don't give up easily.

Contrary to what you hear from my colleagues, my real job in life is anchoring the six and ten o'clock news at KOMU. Yes, I do play golf, a lot of golf, but I have no plans of quitting my daytime job! Or is it my nighttime job? If I tried to make a living playing golf I would go bankrupt!

I started this broadcasting career in Jefferson City getting a radio job as a senior in high school. Working my way through college I eventually shifted from radio to television. My radio stops also included stations in Fulton and Joplin.

I've always been told this was the perfect job for me because people are forced to listen to me talk. Trust me, I do it a lot!

I can talk to anyone, about anything, at anytime...even at 3:00 in the morning when I wake up! And, I'm very excited to wake you up every morning.

Originally from St. Louis, I went to high school at St. Joseph's Academy, and graduated from the University of Missouri with my Bachelor of Journalism.

After graduating from MU, I left Columbia briefly, to go to Fayetteville, Arkansas and was a meteorologist at the NBC affiliate there for almost one year. I missed my family so much that I wanted to come "back home" and was hired full-time at KOMU-TV to handle the weekend weather duties and start an in-depth school-weather partnership with Mid-Missouri area schools and school districts. Since then, I have been promoted to the weekday morning meteorologist position and I enjoy waking up with Mid-Missouri each and every morning, providing them with an accurate and informational weather forecast.

Born and raised in Saint Louis, I had experienced the Great Flood of 1993 and still remember to this day watching people being rescued from the tops of buildings in Chesterfield Valley. I have seen everything from blizzards to thunderstorms, hurricanes to tornadoes, floods to droughts and my love for the weather just continues to grow. Weather has truly become a passion for me. I not only enjoy it, but I also understand it.

I'm a Multimedia Sports Journalist with a franchise called "Blumberg off the Bench" airing Sunday nights during the KOMU 8 Sports Show.

I graduated from the Missouri Journalism School in 1997 and returned in 2003 as a member of the faculty/staff at KOMU 8. As adjunct faculty, I teach broadcast journalism students sitting in the same seats I once did.

I've worked at the Super Bowl, World Series, and Daytona 500, but going to the Little League World Series to cover the Columbia team is my all-time favorite event.
