“Genuine, confident and charming; these are the words members of the Columbus television audience use to describe Mikaela – and I could not agree more.
Mikaela and I worked together during my tenure as News Director at WCMH NBC4. She is smart, hard-working and the ideal “newsroom citizen.” As co-anchor of NBC4, Mikaela helped develop and execute a content and social media strategy that resonated with the audience and yielded strong demographic growth. Mikaela also helped cross-promote her morning newscast by producing special reports that were strategically placed in early afternoon newscasts. The Columbus market is extremely competitive, so I would frequently ask Mikaela to return to the station to front her reports live at 5pm (hours after her morning shift had ended). Mikaela always accommodated my requests and approached the added responsibilities with professionalism and good humor.
Mikaela understands the big picture and is a true team player. I hope to work with her again in the future – in the meantime, she has earned my strongest recommendation.”
