Brittany is a graduate of the University of Washington. She began her broadcasting career as a reporter, but spread her wings to become the weekend weather anchor. Since Brittany played sports for most of her life, her knowledge and passion for athletics led her to become the sports director in 2014. She is grateful to still be covering sports 'til this day, considering these positions are facing cuts and adversity. As a leader in the newsroom, she emerged to become the evening news anchor in December 2019. While balancing two positions is a challenge, Brittany looks at the situation as a blessing.
