A former Florida news anchor has made her way to North Texas for a different kind of role.
Dani Travis, a former anchor at CBS 12 News in West Palm Beach, Fla., left the station last month and recently announced her next chapter as a communications specialist for the city of Fort Worth.
“In college, I set a goal for myself: to become a news anchor. I think that’s every young journalist’s dream. I worked hard, chased that dream, and achieved it,” Travis wrote on social media. “Now, I’m setting my sights on something bigger: serving the 10th-largest city in the country.”
The move brings Travis back to North Texas after 10 years in Florida. In her new role, she’ll work with the mayor, City Council and other Fort Worth officials, she wrote.
“From sharing important information, to embracing Fort Worth’s iconic Cowtown culture, helping tell the story of this incredible community is a responsibility I don’t take lightly,” Travis wrote.
Travis departed CBS 12 after two years as the weekend morning news anchor, detailing the job’s demanding schedule, including 7 p.m. bedtimes and 1:30 a.m. alarms, in a social media post saying goodbye to the station and its viewers.
“There were plenty of mornings when getting out of bed felt impossible, but I woke up every day knowing I had the privilege of serving an incredible community and hopefully making a difference. That made it worth it,” she wrote.
