Why I got started:

My name is Natalie Kaplan and I’m a News Anchor/Reporter in Greenville, North Carolina. A couple of days ago, I was at the grocery store when a middle aged man walked by me, turned to his wife and said, “Hey, that’s the girl always smiling on the news.” He’s right, I’ve usually got a huge grin plastered across my face.

I’ve been in the media industry for a little over three years now so I still get excited when I’m live at the scene of a warehouse fire, covering a chemical spill, or bomb threat at a high school. But while the live element is invigorating it’s not why I love my job.

Everyday I wake up in the morning and I have no idea who I’m going to meet that afternoon. I’m a people person and that’s exactly what I do sometimes, tell people’s stories. While on the road (not just for my job but because of my lifestyle, I’m a traveling addict who will pack up and go anywhere at anytime) I am constantly meeting different types of people who have incredible stories to tell and that’s one of the keepsakes I usually return home with, a lesson learned. This is my chance to introduce you to some of those individuals and share some of the lessons they have bestowed upon me. This is my chance to take you on the road with me…
