Lacey Beasley is a first-timer in Texas and thrilled to wake up with you on CBS News Texas Mornings! She is an Alabama native from Trussville, just outside of Birmingham. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in News Media and Political Science from the University of Alabama. Roll Tide! She began her career in 2019 as an intern at WVUA23 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. She trained in all areas of news: editing, reporting, anchoring, producing, directing, etc. She graduated with three years of on-air reporting under her belt and covered hard-hitting stories such as the 2020 presidential cycle and the COVID-19 pandemic. WVUA23 propelled her into her first job out of college at FOX10 in Mobile, Alabama. As a general assignment reporter, she dabbled in all areas of news: crime, politics, court cases, features, humanitarian stories, and more. She grew exponentially and refined her craft with breaking news live shots, creative storytelling, and a captivating presentation. She's learned the joy in her reporting comes with listening well to her audience and being compassionate. In 2023, one of her hardest pieces attracted the attention of President Joe Biden. After reporting on a lack of FEMA aid in Moss Point, Mississippi two months following an EF-2 tornado, Beasley pressed the president for answers. She sent that story to the White House. Less than 24 hours later, President Biden signed the FEMA declaration and help was finally on the way. Beasley finished her three years on the Gulf Coast by bringing home the first award of her career: the 2024 Alabama Broadcasters Association Award of Merit for TV Reporter. Now at CBS News Texas, she's looking forward to learning from her talented colleagues, getting to know the communities, and telling your stories. She's also an avid pickleball player and bookworm.
