After three years, KPRC 2 reporter Gianna Caserta is outta here. She tells me she's going to work in at WLKY as an anchor.

"Anchoring has always been the next goal in my career and I am excited to be moving to Louisville to make that dream a reality," Caserta told mikemcguff.com.

Caserta came from WALB, the NBC and ABC affiliate for Southwestern Georgia. The Florida native graduated from the University of Florida with a Telecommunication News degree and a minor in business. She interned at WTVJ in Miami and WCJB in Gainesville, Florida.

Not only did Caserta gain a lot of good experience at channel 2, but she also met her husband, KPRC photographer Carter Schumacher. He's landed a job in Louisville too, but across the street at WHAS.

"This is such a bittersweet move for me. I have really enjoyed the last three years at KPRC and had a blast telling some great stories that only Houston could produce," Caserta told me. "I have made some amazing friends and even met my husband here!"
