A Charlotte native, Kaitlin graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2015 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Meteorology. Before returning home, her broadcast career took her to Albany, New York; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and Pensacola, Florida. From hurricanes and tornadoes to excessive heat and snow – she is knowledgeable about and familiar with a variety of weather conditions.

The CBM is considered the gold standard in broadcast meteorology, recognizing excellence in meteorological expertise and effective communication of weather information to the public.
