A former Florida news anchor<\/a> has made her way to North Texas for a different kind of role.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“In college, I set a goal for myself: to become a news anchor. I think that\u2019s every young journalist\u2019s dream. I worked hard, chased that dream, and achieved it,” Travis wrote on social media. “Now, I\u2019m setting my sights on something bigger: serving the 10th-largest city in the country.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“From sharing important information, to embracing Fort Worth\u2019s iconic Cowtown culture, helping tell the story of this incredible community is a responsibility I don\u2019t take lightly,” Travis wrote.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A former Florida news anchor has made her way to North Texas for a different kind of role.\u00a0…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":478306,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[1638,143592,116,118,117,91555,88643,95703],"class_list":["post-478305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-brief","tag-dwf-celebrities","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news","tag-tp-celebrities","tag-tp-fort-worth","tag-tp-tv-personalities"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=478305"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478305\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/478306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=478305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=478305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=478305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
