Jacqueline Waite joined NBC25 in October of 2008 as a general assignment reporter. 

She grew up in Pickerington, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. While she is originally from the Buckeye State, she loves living and working in Maryland. She is excited to live in a state that shares a border with the ocean!

Jacqueline was bit by the news bug in high school while working on the cable broadcast channel, and went on to graduate Magna Cum Laude from the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University.

In college, she worked at WOUB Radio and TV News in Athens, Ohio, for four years. She produced, anchored and reported, sometimes doing all three in the same day! Jacqueline’s coverage of an FBI investigation into three police officers accused of dealing drugs serves as a highlight of her time spent at the station.

She also spent two summers interning at two different Columbus stations, WBNS and WSYX/WTTE.

When she’s not working for you, Jacqueline likes reading, shopping and running. Although Western Maryland reminds her a lot of Ohio, she hasn’t quite adjusted to the hilly climate during her runs! She also enjoys spending time with family, friends and her fiancé Ryan.

If you see Jacqueline out and about, please come over and say hi! She loves meeting viewers and hearing what you have to say!  Click Here to email Jacqueline.
