Fox News Channel has signed veteran local newser Christina Coleman as a Fox News correspondent.

Coleman comes to FNC from KSDK-TV in St. Louis, and she’ll be based out of FNC’s Los Angeles offices.

Since 2014, Coleman served as an anchor and lead night beat reporter for the St. Louis NBC station, focusing on community reporting. While there, she actively covered the events in Ferguson, Mo., following the death of Michael Brown. Notably, she was one the first journalists on the scene of the riots days after the unarmed teenager was shot and killed. Additionally, Coleman traveled to Geneva, Switzerland, to cover Brown’s parents as they testified before the U.N. Committee Against Torture.

The Texas A&M grad began her career as a reporter at KIMO-TV (ABC) in Anchorage, Alaska, where she contributed to the station’s evening newscast. During her time in Alaska, she frequently interviewed former vice presidential candidate and then-Governor Sarah Palin.
