Heather Brooker is the entertainment reporter at NBC-LA, and is an Emmy award winning journalist who has also had scenes in shows like The Office, The Mindy Project, Grey’s Anatomy, and The Middle.

Heather is taking us through the major career shifts she’s experienced and her thoughts on risk-taking, having a backup plan, the good and bad parts of being a journalist, and how her husband has been her encourager through her career. She’s taken some major risks but has blossomed every step of the way.
