Kate Amara never aspired to become a broadcast journalist. She wanted to write for the New Yorker. But one day of shadowing a local reporter in Boston changed her life forever. She thought it was the perfect job because she loves to talk and ask lots of questions. She began her news career working for three years as a producer at New England Cable News in Boston before moving on to a reporter position for the NBC affiliate in Vermont.
Kate moved to New Hampshire for a position with WMUR as a general assignment reporter in September 1999. She quickly moved up to anchoring full time. She joined the WBAL-TV 11 News team in January of 2005. Currently, Kate co-anchors 11 News Saturday and Sunday mornings. Kate grew up in Farmington, Conn., and graduated in 1994 from the University of New Hampshire. She is an avid runner, having twice run the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C., most recently in 2004. She loves to spend time with her three nephews. Her blog can be found here.
