This blog post is not something I ever really saw myself writing but, back in November, I was notified that my position in Memphis would be eliminated by the end of January 2025.
Of course, the media industry isn't known for being the most stable line of work but, I thought I would be okay; clearly that did not end up being the case.
During this time I was worried about the future, what was I going to do in just a few months? I'm not one to deal with anxiety but for a few weeks, I was a nervous wreck knowing I needed to find a job and QUICK.
After finding out this news, I posted to social media and to be honest, the response was something I could have never imagined. The support from friends, family, and even colleagues in the field lifted my spirits. The amount of meteorologists and others in the TV industry who reached out to me in the days following gave me the push I needed and helped more than I could ever say in words. If it weren't for all those who tried to help, I would have been in a much different mental state than I am right now.
That brings us to today, I still do not know where I will end up going into next year but, I have decided to have a much more positive outlook on things ahead. I am trying to view this as an opportunity to further my career and do something new.
I will keep everyone updated on where I end up as soon as I know but for now, the job search continues.
