KOMO Communities Reporter
Glad to call the Northwest home again!
After graduating with a degree in History from the University of California, Santa Barbara - (Go Gauchos) I made my move into TV journalism, working at KBOI in Boise, ID. There I did it all: the assignment desk, reporting, anchoring, and producing daily newscasts.
I have a passion for telling stories and that's why I am so excited to be back at it as a Community Reporter with KOMO News.
Have a story that needs sharing? Hit me up at kthrondsen@komonews.com or call 206-404-4272.
