About Kristen Mirand

I’m currently working as a news reporter for wkyc studios in Cleveland. Previously, I was Multimedia Journalist and anchor at WKBW in the Buffalo, NY market, where I shot, wrote and edited daily news stories that matter to the Western New York community.Before that, I worked as an MMJ at WSET in the Lynchburg-Roanoke, VA market, honing my storytelling skills in a fast-paced, competitive environment.I earned my B.A. in journalism from Ithaca College’s Roy H. Park School of Communications. While there, I anchored Newswatch, ICTV’s live weekly newscast, and hosted ICTV Reports, a 30-minute long-form journalism show. I served in multiple roles at the station throughout my college career — from assistant producer and reporter to anchor and show producer — gaining hands-on experience from my very first semester.I’ve interned with ABC News in Los Angeles, where I helped produce live shots and assisted reporters in the field — including during the 91st Academy Awards. I also interned with NBC Nightly News in New York City, as well as at WIVB in Buffalo and WSYR in Syracuse.Through Ithaca College’s journalism program, I had the opportunity to cover March For Our Lives with NBC & MSNBC in Washington, D.C. and travel to Memphis, Tennessee to report on the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination.
