Dora Scheidell joined the CNY Central team in August 2012 as a multimedia journalist.
Before joining the CNY Central team, she worked as a multimedia journalist at KRNV News 4 in Reno, Nevada. She was a one woman band: writing, shooting, editing, and reporting. Before moving in front of the camera, Dora spent a year producing the 5pm news at KRNV. She also worked as an assignment editor and a writer in San Diego after graduating with a Communications degree from the University of California, San Diego.
Dora chose a career in journalism because of her insatiable curiosity about people, a desire to learn new things, and a need to connect with others.
Dora spent most of her life in Southern California, but is thrilled to experience real weather and soak up all that Syracuse has to offer.
