Simoné was born and raised in Houston, Texas. She has always had a passion for connecting with people through conversation. After graduating Magna Cum Laude from the University of Houston in 2018 with a B.A. in Broadcast Journalism, she started her career in the industry the following month at our sister station, KHOU.
There she was an associate producer and audience coordinator for a lifestyle talk show. While at KHOU, she mainly focused on producing segments featuring local 501(c)3 nonprofits across the Greater Houston area. While working two and a half years as an associate producer, she worked in her spare time on her reporting and that has led her here to KIII-TV.
Simoné is a dog mom to her one-year-old Yorkie, Simba. She is always looking for new places across the city to explore. If you have any recommendations or story ideas, send them her way: ssimpson@kiiitv.com.
