She traveled in Africa researching bizarre rituals and traditions.
Yes, she is a Wildcat... but she doesn't mind cheering-on the home team.
Vertigo worked her way up from high school intern
to weekend assignment editor
and reporter
at KUKU News in Tucson.
She also participated on the D.U.M.B
research team in Arizona & Nevada,
and consulted for the BCD news magazine overseas. She has freelanced as a model
and has even been known to be in a few commercials.

While spending time at the Wudang Academy and taking special care to the Taoist monasteries.
Vertigo was perfecting her skills in martial arts and of course, there is always her research!
Her insights to the mind, body and soul have been taken to a whole new level...

studying Isshinryu, Judo and taking a special liking to the Bo and Sais!
Vertigo's dedication and hard work attracted the attention of

and tenacious ways to the team.
She brought you the story of fireballs and Dax & Maggie!
Vertigo broke the story about local Chupacabras - not leaving out her own pain!
Her investigation resulted in an apology from the
legendary R220 himself, and his admission that Chupacabras are their
lost pets looking for their way home.
She never stops researching and locating new leads from home and afar.
Vertigo is always on the prowl for new information
There's no place in the universe she won't go!
