Roxie Elliott, Multimedia Journalist
Roxie Elliott joined the ABC57 news team in April 2020 as a multimedia journalist but is no stranger to Michiana.
Roxie is a Berrien County native, attending Buchanan Community Schools and being raised a loyal fan of the Fighting Irish just across the state line!
She then went on to attend Michigan State University where she graduated with double majors in Journalism and Political Science. Since then, Roxie gained experience in almost all aspects of news operations - producing, editing, shooting video and creating social media content - and ultimately decided reporting news stories is where her passion lies.
There’s no other news market she’d rather serve because Michiana is her home and she’s always looking for the next story in Berrien and Cass counties.
