About Jessica Willis

I am a veteran of local news. I started my career at KXAS in Fort Worth, Texas. My other stops in television include Amarillo, Houston, Charleston, Charlotte, and Columbia, South Carolina. In my role as Executive Producer at WIS TV, I won an Emmy for the news special 'Heartbreak and Hope After Covid.' During my time producing at KHOU, my breaking news segments helped the station win a Regional Edward R. Murrow Award.
