Lindsey Seavert
Reporter
Seavert is happy to return to her Midwestern roots. The Minnesota native graduated from Indiana University before launching into the news business.
Lindsey comes to Columbus from the "Biggest Little City." She took a gamble and spent more than three years as a reporter and weekend anchor in Reno, Nevada. There she reported from the shores of Lake Tahoe, on the edge of wildfires, from the excitement in downtown Reno and inside Nevada's legislative chambers.
She began her journalism career at KCCO-TV, lugging her camera around in the freezing temperatures in Alexandria, Minn.
Her family says it is no surprise Lindsey became a journalist. Her little sister was constantly annoyed because she asked "too many questions." Nothing has changed today. Lindsey constantly realizes the weight of her role -- the power to inform and evoke change comes with great responsibility. She hopes to bring this approach to Columbus viewers.
Seavert and her husband, Ian, live in the Short North. They embrace the superior quality of life Columbus has to offer. In their spare time, they enjoy exploring the diverse neighborhoods, new restaurants, shops and activities.
Lindsey also enjoys fitness, cooking, reading, writing and the arts.
