Amanda Becker, Reporter
Amanda Becker joined CBS 58 in June 2021. She's currently a reporter for the CBS 58 morning newscast.
Amanda is passionate about highlighting small businesses and positive things happening in Southeast Wisconsin communities.
She grew up in a Chicago suburb, but after moving to Milwaukee in 2016 to attend the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee (UWM), she always knew she'd make it her home.
Amanda earned a degree in Journalism at UWM. Her love for journalism came from her time studying there, but she's always been drawn to storytelling and the way it's used to share ideas and beliefs.
Prior to her time in Milwaukee, Amanda worked for the FOX affiliate in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
On the weekends, you'll find Amanda attending the same festivals and events she's previewing at 5 a.m. weekdays.
She loves to spend as much time outdoors as possible with her husband, daughter and newly welcomed son.
