Bachelor of Arts :

• Before Whitney turned her sights on meteorology, she had broad interests in the news field as a whole.
• She attended Arizona State University to pursue these interests, and attended the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism.
• Upon graduation, she earned her first Bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism with a minor in political science.

• After graduating from Arizona State, Whitney began working in the news industry and realized that her true passion lay with the weather.
• She then went back to school and attended Mississippi State University, or MSU.
• There, she graduated with her second bachelor’s degree, this time in geosciences. During her time at MSU, she concentrated her studies on broadcast and operational meteorology.

• Whitney’s first taste of the TV industry was different from most—she immediately got a job after graduation with the Arizona Diamondbacks, a major league baseball team, as a game host at Chase Field.
• Whitney would sift her way through the crowded stadium seats and choose contestants for small games and often found herself projected on the jumbotron with thousands of eyes on her at once. It was certainly good practice for her future on camera.
• Her first on-screen appearance was before an Arizona State vs. Oregon football game.
• When she left the Arizona Diamondbacks, she took a job with KKCO-TV, an NBC-affiliated station based in Grand Junction, Colorado.
• There, she worked as the weather anchor for their morning broadcasts.

• In 2011, Lauren joined CBS4 as an addition to their morning team. She began as a part-time meteorologist, taking up some of then-weatherman Ed Greene’s air time. Greene had worked at the station since 1981, and although he felt ready for retirement, the network’s urgency to replace him with Whitney left him angry.
• Nevertheless, she eventually replaced Greene, and now works at the station full-time.
