KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Lauryn Lovett joined the WBIR team in July 2024. She was born and raised in Alpharetta, Georgia right outside of Atlanta. She discovered an interest in broadcast as a high school freshman when she did a mock newscast for a final project.
Lauryn graduated from the University of North Carolina (Go Heels!) with majors in Journalism and Political Science. At UNC, she served as a reporter and anchor for two award-winning, student-run newscasts, Carolina Week and Carolina Connection. During her senior year, she had the opportunity to intern at WTVD in the Raleigh-Durham area.
Now, Lauryn gets to live in beautiful Knoxville and share stories that matter Straight from the Heart. Being from the South, Tennessee already feels like home (and it's closer to home than Chapel Hill).
When she’s not working you can find her listening to musicals, trying new restaurants and hanging out with family and friends!
