What she says

“As journalists, our jobs can take us to many cities and states, reporting on some of the best and worst days of people’s lives, and through these experiences I’ve been reminded of the true value of time with family, so I’m so excited to reset the clock and begin this new chapter at FOX9, in an area that has already been a part of my family’s journey in so many ways,” Woolridge said.
