Morgan Donnelly joined the WSLS team as a Digital Journalist in August 2010. After living in Massachusetts and New York, Morgan claims North Carolina to be her home state. She graduated Cum Laude from North Carolina State University with a B.A. in Political Science and Media Communication. She was actively involved in student government and her honors fraternity, Lambda Pi Eta.
Throughout college, she interned at Fox News in New York City in the production department, as well as WTVD in Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina. She also found time to study abroad in Hanzghou, China.
In her spare time, she enjoys cooking, traveling, spending time with her friends and family and going to as many N.C. State Wolfpack games as possible. Morgan is looking forward to covering stories and exploring the Roanoke area with her collie, Minka. Please feel free to contact her with any story ideas at MDonnelly@wsls.com.
