Born and raised in San Diego, California, I am a journalist, university professor, and author of children's book "Grammy and Me."  I've always loved hearing and telling stories! Currently, I'm an anchor/reporter at KOMO News, the ABC News affiliate in Seattle, Wa where I anchor and report news, traffic and entertainment stories. I also produce and host a franchise, "Hometown Connections." 

​

Prior to joining the KOMO team I was a morning news reporter at CBS/FOX Bakersfield, where I provided breaking news reports from the ground of various national stories to fun feature reports in the community.

​

My love for the business immersed in jobs at NBC 4 Los Angeles, NBC 7 San Diego, FOX 5 San Diego, and a few entertainment news outlets. I hold a bachelors degree in Journalism from California State University, Fullerton, and a Master of Science degree in Journalism from the University of Southern California.

 

I've also created a talk show, "Major Moves with Tyrah Majors," highlighting millennial entrepreneurs.
