About audreydahlgren

Before coming to HOM-TV this fall, I graduated in May of 2011 from Michigan State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Communication. I have been a Spartan fan my entire life and I am proud to bleed the only true colors, green and white. Always have. Always will. During my time at MSU I cheered on the Michigan State University Co-Ed Cheerleading team for two years, and my senior year, I interned at WLNS Channel 6 in Lansing in their sport's department. At Channel 6 my passion for broadcasting really blossomed, and I knew this was the career path I wanted to pursue. I love running, working out, all kinds of sports, and anything that involves physical activity. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be in the rookie intern track at HOM-TV. I am excited to learn, grow, and develop the skills that are essential to becoming a successful reporter from the people that work there. They always say, "There's no place like HOM."
