Jaine
Andrews (In her words)
I
was born in the land of milk and honey... and the Green Bay Packers. As a native
of Madison, Wisconsin, I am proud to call myself a "cheese head." At
some point in my life, I took the phrase, "Go West young woman" (allow
me some literary looseness, here) a little too seriously and wound up at Iowa
State University. There I earned my BS in Journalism and Mass Communications,
complemented with minors in Sociology, Political Science and Telecommunicative
Arts.
Still heading west, I find myself in Sioux Falls at KELO-LAND TV where I am in
the midst of my second tour, and more then 10 years, of service here. I
co-anchor KELOLAND News at 5 with Doug Lund and am pleased to bring viewers the
latest health news through HealthBriefs at 5PM and HealthBeat at 6PM. I have
received awards from the Associated Press and numerous health organizations for
my health reporting. As a nationally registered EMT-B, I am the region's only
medically trained health reporter and I use my skills to provide my viewer’s
with the medical news that is important to them and their families.
