Richardson's resume
Richardson came to KPRC 2 and Houston in August 2019 from WLWT 5 Cincinnati, Ohio where she was a reporter.
She previously hosted segments on syndicated radio "The Bob & Tom Show."
The University of Indianapolis grad also worked as an on-court emcee for the Indiana Pacers, a digital specialist for WTHR Indianapolis and as a broadcaster for UI's 88.7 FM WICR and UIndy TV.
Interest in sports reporting
Richardson credits her interest in reporting from her father, who was a stay-at-home dad due to an illness. The father and daughter would watch sports together.
