Michelle Griego may need her morning coffee, but she's always excited for her first report on CBS4 This Morning, every weekday. She started working at CBS4 in June of 2005 and became the first person in Denver journalism to work as both an Online Editor for the Web and a Web Specialist for TV.
Michelle is a Denver native, and she started her career in journalism at the age of 11. She co-anchored a kids' news show called "Two Bits," on KWGN-Channel 2, for two-and-a-half years. While she was an anchor, she spoke to high school students about the DARE program, covered presidential candidate Michael Dukakis and interviewed local celebrities.
Michelle attended Colorado State University and received her Bachelor's Degree in Speech Communication at Metropolitan State College, where she was News Director of the campus television station. She was the winner of two Heartland Regional Emmys while in college, and has also received awards from the Colorado Broadcasters Association and the Society of Professional Journalists for a story on the dangers of drunken driving.
During her time working on the cbs4denver.com team, the site was the winner of the Colorado Broadcasters Association 2005 Award of Excellence for best TV Web Site.
Michelle says she is happy to be in her hometown working at a station like CBS4. She enjoys being involved in the community, and has served as a peer counselor and a facilitator for the La Raza Youth Conference.
When she's not working, Michelle enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter.
