With her tote bag, a towel and a water bottle, the freshman finance student sat down to enjoy the sun while FaceTiming her mother.

If you're regularly stuck in the "dreaded" Interstate 4 stretch from Davenport to Disney World, relief is on the way. Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Monday that an additional lane in each direction will be open before the end of the month, improving the drive between Tampa and Orlando. According to the Florida Department of Transportation, the completion exceeds a promise DeSantis made last June to open the lanes by the end of 2025.

I’m thrilled to announce that I started as a digital news producer at @wusf this week. Looking forward to serving the Tampa Bay community in this new role and working with this amazing team! https://t.co/OitNF1gtHk

My time at 11Alive News came to an end earlier this month as I head into a new chapter in my career. I had 2 different roles at the station and grew tremendously. But the best part was the amazing journalists I worked with. Forever grateful for everyone I met in Atlanta! https://t.co/sfIafRDU4n
