I'm a St. Cloud State University graduate. While at SCSU, I spent many hours working at the campus radio station - KVSC. Being a reporter has always been a dream of mine. I started my professional career at WJON in 2015 as a news reporter and anchor. I absolutely love my job and never knowing what each day will bring. I mostly cover higher education, business and the towns of Clearwater and Cold Spring. I love baking, fashion, dancing and singing loudly in my car. Outside of the newsroom, I host WJON's Rush Hour show weeknights from 5-6 alongside my colleague Richard Leguil. To reach out email chrissy@wjon.com
