While at ABC 6, she covered crime in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts, and broke several exclusive stories that made national headlines. Some of the stories she covered were the "Craigslist Killer," the 2011 New England Tornado outbreak and presidential visits to Rhode Island.
Malini has also spent time as a reporter at WSYR-TV ABC 9 in Syracuse, NY, and at WPTZ-TV NBC 5 in Plattsburgh, NY.
In addition, she was a field producer and writer for WNYW-TV FOX 5, and a news assistant/photographer for Time Warner cable's NY1 news, both in New York City.
A native of Queens, NY, Malini is a graduate of St. John's University in Jamaica, NY where she studied communications and business.
Malini is of Indian descent and speaks fluent Bengali. She has spent several summers in India where her parents grew up before they emigrated to New York.
