Ellie Nakamoto-White, Reporter

Ellie Nakamoto-White is a weekend morning anchor and reporter who began working for CBS 58 in September 2022.

Ellie was adopted from Vietnam when she was just a few months old and raised in Portland, Oregon. This Pacific Northwest native is now thrilled to live in the beautiful Midwest and explore everything that Wisconsin has to offer!

Since landing in the Badger State, she's been honored with multiple awards from the Wisconsin Broadcast Association and the Milwaukee Press Club, and earned an Emmy nomination for her investigative reporting uncovering patient abuse at a Milwaukee group home.

Ellie graduated with a B.A. in broadcast journalism from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University (go Sun Devils!) in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Immediately after graduation, Ellie began working as a multimedia journalist in southeast Washington.

While she covers all kinds of stories ranging from breaking news to sports to politics, her favorite ones to cover are positive and uplifting stories that highlight the local community.

In her free time, Ellie enjoys spending time with family, traveling the world (she's been to 14 countries and 23 states), and taking her schnoodle, Theo, on walks in the park.

She also considers herself a total foodie, and is searching for any and all restaurant and food truck recommendations in the Milwaukee area.
