Mary Green reports for the KCRG-TV9 News at 10 p.m. — though you might also catch her at 4, 5, or 6, depending on the day.
Before moving to eastern Iowa, Mary started her career as a multimedia journalist at WFXL in Albany, Georgia, where she covered local government, tornadoes, hurricanes, and even a bit of snow.
Despite being born and raised in Tampa, Florida, Mary is no stranger to the Midwest. She graduated from the University of Notre Dame and loves to cheer on the Irish!
If you see Mary and her dog, a beagle named Chris Bosh, around town, please say hi! You can also reach her at Mary.Green@kcrg.com, or through Facebook or Twitter.
