She might tell you a joke but she won’t tell you a lie. This Florida A&M graduate has lived and worked in several cities and states but Charlotte, NC is her absolute favorite.

As a child growing up in Richmond, VA, Kaci picked journalism as a career and she’s been locked in ever since. She enjoys telling stories that focus on solutions and holding people in power accountable to the people they serve.

Kaci believes everyone has a voice and a story and it’s her job to find it and tell it. When she’s not working her dream job, she is somewhere with her rescue dog Panda, or playing tennis.

She has a not-so-hidden talent for performing karaoke. Kaci loves cooking and trying new restaurants. She also enjoys traveling and learning about other cultures. She is grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of this community and she loves hosting events.

She hopes you will reach out to her if she can help you or anyone you know.
