After marrying her high school sweetheart, Rebekka and her husband moved to Norfolk, Virginia, where she was an anchor and reporter for WVEC-TV. She covered many Navy farewells and homecomings. As a Navy wife, those stories truly hit home for her. After her husband's completion of his military service, they moved to Atlanta to be closer to family.
Rebekka joined Atlanta News First in 2001. In her years at Atlanta News First News, Rebekka has covered a wide variety of topics, from crime to courts to politics. She also enjoys reporting on stories that impact families and communities in the Atlanta area.
