Get To Know Your Morning Crew!
Samantha: "By day, I'm a meteorologist and scientist, making sure our community is always one step ahead of Mother Nature’s surprises. When I'm not forecasting, I'm a wife to my amazing husband, wrangling our two wild dogs, and tackling home improvement projects. I’m also out and about, always finding ways to make a difference in our community!"
Emily used to pretend to be a news anchor for fun as child. Now, she says she’s living the dream with the career of a lifetime. When she’s not out chasing the next story, she is spending time with those she loves most, including her dog, Charlie.
Tanner: "I’m always doing something, so it’s no surprise I found a career where no two days ever look alike. I love that this job gives me the opportunity to speak to people from all walks of life and learn their stories in a wonderful and vibrant community. When I’m not on camera, I’m trying different restaurants and breweries and taking in the lovely scenery of Grand Rapids and west Michigan."
