Although, she always had a passion for television broadcast news, Shyann did not take the traditional route into the news business.
Shyann graduated from Bowling Green State University, where she played Division I volleyball and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication.
Upon graduation, Shyann moved to Atlanta, where she landed a career in pharmaceutical sales. While it was a successful one, Shyann knew something was missing.
Determined to follow her passion, she entered the news world and began a new career in broadcast journalism.
She launched her television career working as an intern at WSB-TV in Atlanta and accepted her first shot as a 5 p.m. anchor in Greenville, Mississippi. There she covered the great historic flood of the Mississippi River, which forced thousands out of their homes and made national headlines.
Shyann then moved on to WACH in Columbia, South Carolina. She worked there as a weekend evening anchor while reporting during the week. Shyann covered a wide range of stories in the capital city, from politics to military homecomings and everything in between.
That news experience took Shyann to Tampa, where she worked as an anchor and morning reporter at the CBS affiliate.
Shyann loves spending time with her husband and dogs when she is not at work.
Trying new restaurants, playing beach volleyball, working out, shopping, relaxing at the beach, meeting new people and watching professional sports are also high on Shyann's list.
Shyann is so excited to be a part of the South Florida community. She embraces the culture and diversity that the area offers.
Volunteering, mentoring the youth and emceeing local events are all roles Shyann embraces.
