Early life

Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University.[ citation needed ]

Career

Lahmers' first job in journalism after graduation was as a reporter at WBBJ-TV in Jackson, Tennessee. She also anchored the weekend news at the station. [3] While at WBBJ, Lahmers worked without writers or crew, writing and even shooting the news stories herself. [4] In 2007 she joined Fox CT (now referred to as Fox 61) in Hartford, Connecticut, once again as a reporter; by the time of her departure in 2012, she was also working as the weekend news anchor at the station. [5] While in Hartford, Lahmers also wrote columns for local publications such as the Hartford Courant. [3]

From 2012 until 2014 Lahmers was an on-air personality at Back9Network, a golf cable television start-up, along with her then-husband Jamie Bosworth, a former golf pro and co-founder of the station. [6] In 2014 Lahmers moved to the Fox station in New York City, WNYW-TV, as a general assignments reporter. [1] In 2017 she was promoted to daily co-anchor of the station's early morning news program, Good Day Wake Up, which airs before Good Day New York , along with long-time New York television news reporter Sukanya Krishnan. [2] During that time she also hosted Studio 5, a series of entertainment news specials on WNYW. [3]

In August 2019, Lahmers left WNYW to join the revamped entertainment news program Extra . Lahmers relocated to Los Angeles and began reporting for the show in September 2019. As a correspondent, she conducted sit-down studio interviews, as well as covering high-profile film premieres and red carpet events. This included the 2020 Golden Globe Awards. [7]

In January 2023, Lahmers along with fellow Extra correspondent Melvin Robert joined Good Day L.A. , in a likely move to return to local television scene, as well with their reporting for Extra. [8]

Personal life

Lahmers has been an advocate for the prevention of domestic violence since 2009, when Alice Morrin, a close friend and colleague at Fox CT, was murdered by her husband. [2] Lahmers was married to golf pro and cable network executive Jamie Bosworth from 2011 until 2014. [9] On November 17, 2021, Lahmers gave birth to a son, Ethan, with boyfriend Dr. Jarod Keller.
