Sarah Simmons anchors FOX 5 Morning News from 4:25 to 7am.
Sarah joined FOX 5 in January 2006 as a general assignment reporter.
Previously, Sarah worked at KMTV the CBS affiliate in Omaha, Nebraska. During her time there she reported and anchored the weekend newscasts. Her assignments ranged from uncovering a string of complaints and problems with a local landlord, to a deadly tornado that nearly wiped out a Nebraska town in 2004.
Before moving to the Cornhusker state, Sarah anchored the morning and midday news at WKJG-TV in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Sarah graduated from Western Illinois University with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication. She also has earned a Masters Degree from the University of Illinois at Springfield in Public Affairs.
She's learned a lot about the world of Illinois state politics, most importantly that it's never dull.
In her spare time she enjoys hiking, kickboxing, traveling, eating out (especially good crab cakes!) and her FAVORITE candy salt water taffy!
Last but not least, Sarah also loves spending time with her two cats, Diablo and Phoenix.
