Amanda Becker, Reporter

Amanda Becker joins CBS 58 as a digital producer and reporter.

She comes from Green Bay, Wisconsin where she was a reporter for the FOX affiliate.

Amanda grew up in a Chicago suburb, but she has considered Milwaukee home since attending UW Milwaukee in 2016. She graduated with a degree in journalism and won numerous awards through the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association and the Milwaukee Press Club.

Amanda’s love for broadcast journalism comes from her love for, both, writing and talking.

When not working, she spends a lot of time outdoors with her husband and daughter. She loves festivals, another reason to stay in Milwaukee, and summer time.
