As a major country music fan, the CMA awards are my favorite!

If anything, people think it's cool that I'm still working. I'm proud to be a working mama in this world.

I feel very lucky to have served under some great bosses. The majority of them were men, but I have also had a few women. In many ways, I feel like media is pretty neutral when it comes to gender.

I do respect the political process and those that cover politics on a regular basis. It's just not for me.

I want to be known for good work first. A good story and good delivery is just that - period.

Sure, there are times when the guys talk about playing football in school and I can't relate to that, but I can relate to being a female athlete. And as long as you are prepared, work hard and know your stuff, you will be fine.

I am sent on assignments just like guys. I have covered presidential campaigns, natural disasters, tragedies, red carpets, medical stories and more.
