It's my last day at WCAX. I deeply value the stories I've had the privilege of telling, the time spent in dozens of towns, and the perspectives I've learned from Vermonters.
I'll really miss my amazing team
@WCAX
and VT. I'm so grateful for every second of the last 3 years!💚

Katherine was kind enough to let me shadow her in Times Sq on NYE- an experience I’ll never forget. She couldn’t have been more welcoming & helpful to a budding reporter. She made me feel like I had known her forever & she gave me such a special & fun day. She was amazing.
Katherine Creag, a WNBC reporter and mom of three, died unexpectedly this week at age 47.
