Before her move to Maine, she previously worked as a general assignment reporter in Lancaster, S.C., covering education, city council, crime and business. Haley is a native southerner, born and raised in Alpharetta, Georgia, so don’t be surprised when she slips the occasional “y’all” into her interview questions.
