Raised across the water in Ballard, Penny had dreams of working in television. With a degree in Speech Communications and minor in Sports Management from Washington State University, Penny set out to work in sports media. During a visit to Los Angeles, she fell in “awe” with the lights of Hollywood and found herself in the middle of a career in entertainment. While in Southern California, Penny interned at The Tonight Show, NBC ‘s publicity department, and worked at Buena Vista Television, talent management and a couple production companies in the L.A. area. After five years and various careers in the entertainment industry, she decided it was time for a change. Missing her family and hometown, she knew it was time to return to the Pacific Northwest. She started working in marketing at Princess Cruise Lines, and up until recently, The Associated Press. Missing the excitement and challenge of television, she knew it was time to go back into the field. Combining her love for TV and community, Penny finally found the perfect fit at Bainbridge Island Television!
