Lots of channel 2 viewer emails have come my way since former KXAN Austin reporter Sophia Beausoleil popped up on KPRC 2 this week. Beausoleil's Twitter bio lists her as a freelance reporter for the Graham Media Group station.

"Super excited to announce that I've joined the @kprc2 news team in Houston as a freelance reporter," the Katy native wrote on Instagram. "I'm super excited to be back in my hometown and to report in the community I grew up in."

Heck, even new Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo has noticed his former city's reporter.

@Sophia_beau @SallyHernandez Too late Sally. Saw her earlier in the week and met her father-in-law.
