Career

In 2003, she was reassigned to overnight duty where she was both a long-form and news update anchorwoman. In late 2006, she retired from Fox and relocated to Georgia. Prior to this, she had worked at Fox-owned WNYW in New York City. In her four years at WNYW, she was a general assignment reporter for the 10 o'clock news. She also anchored Good Day New York and Good Day Sunday, where she anchored the news as well as performing celebrity and lifestyle interviews.
