Arrianee LeBeau joined the news staff, by way of Orange County, California, in December 2008 as a ‘One Woman Band’ Reporter, meaning when she isn’t fortunate enough to have a photographer, she shoots, writes and edits her own stories.

After receiving a degree in psychology and realizing she didn’t want to be a forensic psychologist, she attended the S. I. Newhouse School at Syracuse University, where she earned her Masters of Science degree in Broadcast Journalism.

Before arriving to Oregon, she worked in Washington, D.C. as a correspondent for WTVW in Evansville, Indiana. Even though she has traveled extensively within the United States, Arrianee is excited to be reporting in the Northwest because of its beautiful environmental landscape, countless outdoor activities, but most importantly, here she has met some of the friendliest people the country has to offer.

In her spare time, Arrianee loves dancing, karaoke, traveling, music and the fine arts. When she isn’t working, you can find her biking along the Willamette River or dining in a local restaurant. Arrianee is excited to be in a city that shares the same passion for the outdoors as she does, further granting an opportunity to discover what this great locale has to offer. In the near future, Arrianee is looking forward to taking up a few outdoor activities, such as hiking and white-water rafting.

Arrianee is a member of the National Association of Black Journalists and the Society of Professional Journalists.
She is thrilled to be part of the news team and is happy to serve the community.
