Emily Reilly is a passionate journalist and recent graduate of DePaul University in Chicago, where she completed her degree in Broadcast Journalism with a minor in Film and Television in 2022. She is a native of the Chicagoland area, growing up in Roselle, Illinois.
For the past two years, Emily reported for, anchored, produced, and co-edited DePaul’s student-run news program, “Good Day DePaul,” where she found her passion and excitement for broadcast news. One of the many reasons Emily enjoys reporting is for the public service aspect—the ability to inform and contribute to the community.
In her free time, Emily enjoys going to comedy shows, thrifting, watching horror movies, reading, and almost any kind of live music.
While Emily enjoyed her time finishing her degree in the Windy City, she is very excited to start her career in Green Bay!
