  AMANDA WAGNER
Jacki Witkowski
Amanda Wagner fell in love with the News on a field trip in the 8th grade. While walking around the newsroom she could feel the excitement. She still remembers the experience and brings that enthusiasm with her to work everyday as a Weekend Anchor/Repoter for FOX 47.

Originally from Colorado, Amanda worked at KKCO in Grand Junction, Colorado as a Morning Show Anchor from 2005-2007. She was involved with the American Red Cross and Western Colorado Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and helped with fundraising and awareness campaigns. In September of 2007, Amanda couldn't turn down the opportunity to move to the Badger State.

Amanda graduated with Deans List Honors from the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

While she misses the scenic mountains of Colorado, Amanda has quickly grown to love all Wisconsin has to offer.
