Sujata Jain is joining WFSB-TV CBS 3 in Hartford, CT as a reporter, she has announced.
Sujata made the announcement on her Facebook page saying "I'm extremely honored to join the news team at WFSB in the Hartford area (and a little worried about the winter)."
WFSB news director Dana Neves tells New England One that Sujata brings "such a unique and strong set of skills to our already strong team."
She says that Sujata is "going to be great. I look forward to April!"
Sujata joins WFSB from WCSC-TV CBS 5 in Charleston, SC where she had been the nightside reporter for the 10pm and 11pm newscasts since 2013.
Before joining WCSC, Sujata spent two years as a reporter, producer and fill-in anchor at WHAG-TV NBC 25 in Hagerstown, MD.
Sujata also spent two years at TV Asia in Edison, NJ where she produced and anchored 30-minute national news segment five times a week. She also reported for the station on political, religious, and social issues impacting the community. Prior to that, she spent a brief time as the Washington, D.C. correspondent reporting for KLBK-TV CBS 13 of Lubbock, TX.
Before getting into broadcast news, Sujata spent almost 5 years as a high school science teacher in West Nyack, NY.
A native of Asheville, NC, Sujata is a 2000 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she earned dual Bachelor's degrees in French and biology. She also achieved a Master's degree in education from the Teachers College of Columbia in New York City in 2002, and a Master's degree in broadcast journalism from Syracuse University in 2008.
As a former high school teacher, Sujata says her news philosophy is hoping to reach people on a larger scale and educate them about the issues that influence their lives.
Sujata starts at WFSB in April, when the winter weather will hopefully be long gone.
