Major stories she covered there included the disappearance of Laci Peterson, the inauguration of Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Academy Awards. Earlier in her career, she worked as a reporter and anchor both for KTVN in Reno, NV and KCBY in Coos Bay, OR.
McCarthy received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from University of Washington, with an emphasis in Broadcast Journalism. In addition to news coverage, Jane has spent much of her time participating in local charitable events and emceeing fundraisers to raise money for critical causes. In her spare time, Jane loves to explore the outdoors as well as grow herbs and vegetables in her garden with the hope of turning them into gourmet meals for family and friends!
