Briana Brownlee, known to her friends as Bre, is excited to call Jacksonville home and join the News4JAX team. She joins us from Southwest Florida, where she reported at Fox 4 News in Fort Myers. Before making it to the Sunshine state, she got her start in Rapid City South Dakota as the morning reporter and later transitioned into the weekend Sports Anchor. After leaving sports, she went to WANE 15 news in Fort Wayne, Indiana where she developed a love for telling the stories of those in the community who were seeking answers to a problem or searching for justice after losing a loved one. She has a passion of telling stories that matter and going deeper to expose the truth, especially when it comes to public safety. Bre was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana but grew up Griffin, Georgia. She graduated from the great Southern University and A&M College with a double major in Broadcast Journalism and Business Marketing. She is a member of the prominent Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, Incorporated and a mother to a beautiful rat terrier named Nala. In her spare time, she enjoys binge watching television and she is a die hard, emotionally drained Dallas Cowboys fan.
