She currently sits on the Advisory Board for Assistance League of Minneapolis Saint Paul, and is a mentor with the VANTAGE program of Minnetonka High School.

She was born in the year 1978, and was raised in Edina. After completing her graduation, Jennifer Mayerle found employment as a weekend anchor/reporter at KWES in Midland, Texas.

Though it was a smaller market, it was there that she learned the value of self-sufficiency and her experiences helped her grow to appreciate the exquisiteness of rolling tumbleweeds.

The next step of her career took her to WKRG in Mobile, Alabama, where she worked as a weekend reporter/anchor. There, Jennifer gained international exposure for her reporting of Hurricane Katrina.

Her interview with Hardy Jackson in Biloxi, Mississippi after his wife was swept from his grip by the floodwaters won her a first Emmy and Murrow Awards. That was one of the initial stories of human suffering to surface from Katrina’s wreckage.

Mayerle and Jackson became friends afterwards, and she remained in connection to him until he passed away in 2013. Her fame and reputation was fast growing at this time and she soon moved to Atlanta where she joined CBS46. Working in Atlanta presented her with many great opportunities and she did good to seize them all.

Her work rate was indeed alarming, and it did not take long before she got recognized for her individualism and efforts. She was recognized for community involvement and for excellence in reporting, and her good works won her an Emmy Award for her in-depth look at the impact of concussions and recurring hits to the head to sportsmen from the youth to the professionals.

Mayerle’s reports helped move Georgia legislators to initiate ‘The Return to Play Act’; a law intended to protect young athletes. While in Atlanta, this gifted journalist did occasional reports on CNN and The Insider, and also contributed profiles of important persons to The Atlantan monthly magazine.

In 2014, she joined WCCO where she has worked to date. Since joining the network, Jennifer has been a part of the 10 p.m. news team which was privileged to receive a regional Murrow award for their work in covering Jacob Wetterling’s case, and the arrest of his killer, Danny Heinrich.

RTNDA recognized Jennifer with a Murrow for the story “Spreading Kindness,” which talked about a young girl with cancer who, together with her sisters, fashioned a friendship with their garbage men.

Mayerle has been actively involved in every aspect of reporting and broadcasting at WCCO. Since she joined the media house in 2014, she has contributed greatly to news coverage and her involvement has earned her a well-deserved international reputation, as well as much more respect and admiration from viewers, and also more wealth as she takes home huge paychecks for her services.

Her contract with the network has been renewed to run for a few more years, so there’s no telling if she will be going elsewhere anytime soon.

Personal Life & Family
