Michaila Hightower joined the Local 10 News team in January 2025 as a reporter. She was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA and loves the City of Angels! Growing up playing soccer, she took her talents to the University of Montevallo in Alabama where she received a scholarship. There she got her bachelors degree in Mass Communication with a focus in broadcast journalism. After college, Michaila spent a little more time in the South, but this time in Mississippi where she worked as an anchor/reporter at the ABC affiliate in Jackson for four years. Jackson is where she got her start in news and it is where she credits the foundation of her story telling. During her years in the deep South, she reported on the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on Roe Vs. Wade and a handful of hurricanes and tornadoes. When she’s not on air, Michaila loves working out, cooking, reading and spending time with her family.
