"Reporting live from the family reunion"...those words are tucked away on a VHS tape at Crystal Britt's mother's home in Mulberry Grove, Illinois.
At age nine she gave television a try. She was the reporter and her father served as a very proud photographer at the summertime family reunion. It wasn't until years later that Crystal realized what she loved doing as a young girl was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.

Crystal is a 1999 graduate from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. She holds a Master's degree from the Public Affairs Reporting program at the University of Illinois in Springfield.
