Kaitlin joined WCCB Charlotte in 2020, working on the News at Ten before transitioning to her current role as morning Meteorologist for WCCB News Rising in 2025.

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.

Kaitlin considers her greatest accomplishment to be motherhood. She and her husband, Ryan, are raising their three young boys, Reece, Holland and Rhodes who keep life busy, fun and full of adventure.
