After graduating with a B.A in Communications and a Minor in Social Work, the grad headed to Amarillo, TX where she worked a Morning Feature Reporter. Nearly two years later, LaMyiah headed on the road for Springfield, where she is now promoting businesses and organizations for Newschannel 20 Marketplace.

LaMyiah's family and friends consider her "a ball of energy." She's fun, optimistic, and likes to think she can crack a good joke here and there. She has a one dog, Ace Boogie, who sticks by her side. LaMyiah loves a good meal. Her favorite movie is The Lion King (the 90s version). Though she can't swim, she loves a good walk around a lake! If you ever see her with her pup around town, don't be afraid to say Hello!
