It’s only human nature to want to know more about such personalities and here is the perfect place you have chosen to quench the thirst of curiosity.
First and foremost, we would like to give you a short tour about her professional life. Her first initiation towards her career was to get a news anchor job at KCRA-TV.

She has also interviewed U.S Presidents and First Ladies like Bill and Hillary Clinton, Ronald and Nancy Regan and others. She has also made a record to be one of the three American journalists to interview Prince Charles while he came to visit U.S at 1983. When the work would demand her to be an athlete, she would let go of the fact that she is a lady and showed her sporting spirit too.
If you don’t believe, she climbed and rappelled Alaska’s famed Mendenhall Glacier, bungee-jumped off a 143-foot bridge, navigated the whitewater rapids of Georgia and paraglided off a 2000 foot mountain.
