Beret Leone is a native Minnesotan who joined the WCCO team as a reporter in September 2022 - and she's thrilled be back home in the Twin Cities! Beret grew up in Chaska and graduated from Bethel University.
Before WCCO, Beret spent four and a half years working as a reporter, and eventually a weekend anchor/producer at KTTC in Rochester, Minnesota. In her time there, she covered everything from presidential visits, unsolved crime cases to devastating severe weather in NE Iowa. Beret also did investigative work, some prompting action from Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith. Over the years her storytelling earned her several awards from the Minnesota Society of Professional Journalism and several Emmy nominations.
Beret has a big family and is the youngest of five kids. That family has now multiplied with spouses and lots of nieces and nephews. Surprisingly, everyone lives within a 20 minute radius.
When she's not on deadline, she loves to spend time with family and friends, sing (musical theatre nerd here) and be active.
