Abby Faulkner
Assistant News Director
I'm a reporter, anchor and photographer/videographer with experience covering every nook and cranny of central Minnesota. I'm particularly interested in field reporting, business news, investigative journalism and feature writing.
I have a degree in English, which I earned in 2008 from Macalester College in St. Paul.
I'm a true Minnesotan, as evidenced by my love of all things outdoors - hiking, skiing, camping, canoeing and snowshoeing...to name a few. I also love to read, play music, crack jokes and travel whenever I can.
