Taylor Freeman

Taylor Freeman came to Columbia in 2020 when she started her Master’s Degree at MU, and has grown to love this community that welcomed her with open arms. 

She’s always loved storytelling. She got her undergraduate degree in Film & Media Production from Arizona State University. Being a filmmaker as her foundation, she likes to challenge herself when shooting for the news to make her visuals more cinematic and interesting to watch.

In her free time she enjoys working out, riding her motorcycle, and playing board games. As a native Californian growing up at the beach she was barefoot most of the time, which she’s been known to do here and there while anchoring at the desk (just don’t tell the news director that).

Join her on air, streaming online, or on the KOMU 8 News app weekdays on KOMU 8 News at Noon, Five & Six o’clock.
