Bio
Briana Aldridge is from a small town in California, but exploring all the East Coast has to offer. With an inviting smile that’s hard to miss, she has spent two years as producer, reporter, full-time morning anchor at WTAP News in Parkersburg. Gaining experience in a small town has allowed her to interview legendary coaches, professional athletes, and former contestants of Miss America Pageants. Being a former dual-sport athlete at the collegiate level, has enticed her to accept an offer as a sports/news reporter in Lafayette, Louisiana. Briana is looking forward to getting back on the field keeping the fans updated in the world of sports.
