School: Ferris State University
Hometown: Traverse City

Roxanne was born and raised in Traverse City and was thrilled to move back home in 2001.

Roxanne has been a part of the 7 & 4 News team for ten years. She was promoted to Interactive & Broadcast Managing Editor in August of 2009. Prior to this, she was Executive Producer and Assignment Desk Editor.

Roxanne graduated from Ferris State University. She began her broadcast news career as a producer at WZZM 13 News in Grand Rapids.

Roxanne loves spending time enjoying all four seasons northern Michigan offers with her daughter Zoe and her dog "Karma".

She is also quick to brag about her two sons who are currently serving our country in the Armed Forces. Spencer is in the Army and completed one tour of duty in Iraq. He is currently serving at Camp Stone in Afghanistan. Preston is in the Marine Corp. He just returned from specialized training in S. Korea and will be taking part in another tour of duty overseas later this year.

You will often see Roxanne (and many times Zoe) at community events and fundraisers. She loves showing her daughter the importance of helping others and what better way to do it then volunteering for fun events!
