Prior to her move to Maine, Alice worked at KAAL-TV in Rochester, MN covering elections, both a presidential and vice-presidential visit, murder trials and investigative stories on law enforcement and government spending. During her time at KAAL-TV, Alice was nominated for a Midwest Regional Emmy for a story on special assessment taxes. It was a true delight for Alice to cover news in her home state of Minnesota.
Alice went to college at Loyola University of Chicago where she majored in journalism and minored in English and political science. After graduating, she worked on the assignment desk at WBBM-TV in Chicago for a year before heading to KAAL-TV.
