Say "Good Morning Buffalo" with Katie every morning as she delivers breaking news, overnight developments and the essential information Western New Yorkers need to start their day. Along with her daily anchoring, Katie is often out reporting on business stories as well as local features.
Since earning her MBA from Canisius College, Katie has prioritized business reporting — anchoring the station’s “Making Ends Meet” and “Price Tracking” segments to help viewers navigate the local economy. Her enterprise reporting has taken her from community courtrooms to the nation’s capital: she followed families after the Flight 3407 crash as they advocated for changes to airline safety regulations and covered the Buffalo Bills’ ownership sale in New York City.
Katie is a three‑time Emmy winner — honored for morning‑show coverage of severe summer weather (2018), race‑related issues in Buffalo (2020) and reporting after the Tops mass shooting (2022) — and has received multiple additional nominations for her reporting. Before joining 7 News, she reported for Time Warner Cable News in Buffalo and Syracuse. She is a Kent State University graduate.
Deeply involved in the local media community, Katie serves as Chair Emeritus of the Buffalo Broadcasters Association and works to preserve Western New York broadcasting history while mentoring the next generation. She is a frequent guest lecturer at SUNY Buffalo State, UB and SUNY Erie, and regularly emcees and moderates events for nonprofit organizations including the American Heart Association, Aquarium of Niagara, Mercy Flight of WNY and Little Smiles.
