School: Truman State University, Kirksville, MO
Hometown: St. Louis

My interest in broadcast journalism began in my childhood, and only continued to grow when I became involved with the campus stations while attending Truman State. While a student, I reported for News 36, and also wrote for the campus newspaper. During my senior year I interned at KTVO, which helped lead me to my current position.

My family is from St. Louis, and I was born and grew up in that area. As a child I loved musical theater, and performed in my school plays and sang whenever possible. Singing and watching live theater remain two of my favorite hobbies. Although I am away from my home in St. Louis, I stay close with my parents and younger brother, whose love and support are largely responsible for where I am today. I am fortunate to have a little bit of family here in Kirksville with me, as my brother Max is now a student at Truman! When I am not at work, I enjoy reading, shopping, watching movies, baking, and most of all spending time with my friends who continue to support me in my new home in Kirksville.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me at efinnegan@ktvo.com with any story ideas or questions! I look forward to getting to know the Heartland even better!
