She started her news career in 1979 as an anchor at WLNE-TV in Providence, Rhode Island. She moved to New York in 1982 to report at WNEW-TV (later WNYW-TV) and later at WABC-TV Eyewitness News. She also worked several years as a reporter and anchor for WNBC-TV's "Weekend Today in New York". She moved to WCBS-TV in 1994 as a reporter and morning anchor before being fired in October 1996 with six on-air colleagues, in an attempt to boost ratings.
