Ashley Bornancin

From Cleveland to Los Angeles, Ashley Bornancin is one of the brightest lights on television. With over a decade of experience as a multimedia journalist, morning and entertainment reporter and TV host, her range and ability extends to the furthest depths of television. She's the lead morning reporter for Toledo's number #1 station, 13ABC, where she brings lively stories every morning from 5-7:30am, from breaking news to tours of Opera Houses.

You can also see her on the 12pm and 5pm shows where she turns her own stories as a multimedia journalist, writing, editing and shooting. She has worked in the business for 8+ years, and was a TV host and social producer for Bravo & NBC Universal in Los Angeles, as well as a morning correspondent for The CW's morning show, Aging and Awesome in Vegas.

She has years of experience in entertainment journalism as well, serving as a red carpet reporter, and has interviewed everyone from The Success of Sussex Meghan Markle, to John Legend, Gloria Allred and the stars of most of your favorite hit TV shows and written a number of articles for nbcla.com and msnbc.com. She has a passion for all media, from writing, editing, shooting, to reporting and anchoring and doing whatever it takes to get the best coverage and engaging content.

However, her love for journalism really started at 5 years old when Ashley would take her mother's typewriter and write weekly newsletters for the entire neighborhood. This passion for storytelling would later lead her to Indiana's Ernie Pyle School of Journalism, to being awarded with the Journalism Broadcast Scholarship at Biola University where she would graduate as the Executive Producer and Head Anchor of the University's broadcast.

With her grounded Midwestern sensibility, her work as a performer, starring as the lead of Netflix's Spy Kids Mission Critical, Latte & The Magic Waterstone, and dozens of guest appearance on NBC's Good Girls, Scandal, and more, has helped her to take her incredibly strong improvisation skills and on-air talent to her love and passion for journalism and real-life stories.

When she's not interviewing and getting the best stories for your TV and digital screens, she's eating meatballs with her Italian family, running in half marathons, and always working on expanding her knowledge of global travel and love for languages.
