NEWS REPORTING AND ANCHORING
Nash began her entertainment career with an internship at KDFW

expect to ever be on television, Nash pursued her goal of being
on camera. After sending out over 75 resumes and making
countless cold calls, Nash was hired as a reporter in Ardmore,
Oklahoma, a small community of about 26,000. Although she
started out in the 175th media market, Nash reached the 65th
market in 9 months as a weekend anchor/reporter for KTAL Channel
6 in Shreveport, Louisiana, and in a year and a half ascended to
the 35th market in Raleigh, North Carolina as an anchor/reporter
for WRAL Channel 5.

in Australia. The show aired in 40 countries, making Nash’s face
known worldwide. As host, she trekked across the globe while
managing a 4-person crew, reported on the latest technology and
