Haley rose to the network after spending a few years in Tampa. Her in-depth storytelling in the sunshine state ranges from the tragedy and triumph from COVID to shining light on the rediscovery of lost African American cemeteries, to walking for hours on end with Black Lives Matter Protestors in COVID masks in the Tampa heat. Haley coverd the pandemic in Florida from day one. She was dedicated to revealing the stories behind the numbers, asking tough questions of our leaders and helping viewers dig through information about the vaccine process. Her dogged reporting, worked to bring forward the information vital to viewers, and the inspiration and hope she found in everyone from those on the front lines to those dedicated to helping move Tampa forward.
Haley came to Tampa from WXIN in Indianapolis, Indiana, where she helped to change the face of the opioid crisis by putting real faces to the devastating addiction, as well as shining a light on its effects in hopes of saving lives. Haley has also done some digging into local carcinogen contamination and its possible link to pediatric cancer. Her heartwarming stories have been told through the eyes of the littlest victims of this dreaded disease. All, in an effort, to help parents change legislation to ban toxic substances. And speaking of children, Haley has also shined a light on youth violence, working with teen groups to clean up the streets. Her hard work on a series piece called “Indy Unsolved,” profiling the search for a serial killer decades later did not go unnoticed. That piece was nominated for an Emmy.
Haley graduated from the University of Maryland with a double major in Government and Politics and Broadcast Journalism. She contributed to the school’s online lifestyle magazine and reported for the Capitol News Service. There she won a regional student Emmy. Haley interned for the CBS Evening News and the Political Unit in the Washington bureau. While at CBS, she was honored to cover the Presidential Inauguration, ushering in the Obama administration. When asked what that stint at CBS did for her, she said, “I learned how to develop sources, cover large breaking national stories, and how to dig into political and election-related stories from journalists I deeply admire and have looked up to throughout my career.”
Haley landed her first job at KFDM in Beaumont, TX., going from MMJ to Weekend Anchor and Investigative Reporter. One very cold November morning she found herself trekking deep in the woods into a homeless camp and settling in with the people that had made a home there. Even though one man described it as hell and despite the despair, they all had a sense of hope. Their ability to see light in such a dark place inspired her to lend a voice to the voiceless.
