Imagine spending seven years in college - first, four years for a bachelor's degree in journalism and then another three for a bachelor's degree in meteorology. Then imagine getting a job forecasting the weather on national television after getting both degrees. Brittany Boyer doesn't have to imagine all of that . . . she's lived it!
Brittany Boyer received her journalism degree from Pennsylvania State University in 2011 and got her meteorology degree from Mississippi State University in 2016. At Penn State in the town of State College (yes, that's what its named), she worked for AccuWeather, and she honed her broadcasting skills in between her two undergraduate tenures; she was a reporter and fill-in weather forecaster for NBC affiliate WJAC-TV in the State College vicinity and was later a weather forecaster for ABC affiliate WNEP-TV in the Scranton area.
Ms. Boyer has since returned to State College to work once again for AccuWeather, this time for its sister television channel, where she broadcasts national weather forecasts and produces videos to help explain what's going on in periods of severe weather.
She celebrated her first year at AccuWeather's TV channel in October 2016 and hopes to celebrate many more years there.
