Hello Lima! I'm thrilled to be joining the Your Hometown Stations team as a Video-Journalist.
I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio and am a die-hard Indians fan. Before moving here to Lima I studied Broadcast News at Ohio University's E.W. Scripps School of Journalism. While there I worked at WOUB-TV in the radio department and as a Reporter/Anchor/Producer for Athens MidDay.
During college I interned with WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Despite moving from "Browns Town" to "Steeler Nation" for awhile, it is there where I truly found my passion for news.
In my freetime I enjoy doing outdoor activities. This includes everything from tennis to kayaking. I also love acting. I was very active in the drama program in high school.
I look forward to becoming a part of this community and encourage you to stop and say hi if you see me around town. If you have an idea for a news story please don't hesitate to contact me at jlonsdale@wlio.com.
