Following graduation from Hofstra, Anderson relocated to Bristol, CT and worked as a production assistant, assignment editor and associate producer on ESPN staples such as SportsCenter, NFL Gameday and Outside the Lines. In 1994 she became SportsCenter’s Los Angeles Bureau Producer working primarily with Shelley Smith, Andrea Kremer, Mark Schwarz, and Steve Cyphers. In 2000 Anderson moved north to be San Francisco Bureau Producer and in 2003 opened an ESPN bureau based in Colorado. As a bureau producer Anderson worked in the field on marquee events such as the Super Bowl, NBA Playoffs, Golf’s majors, Heavyweight Title fights and six Olympic Games.
