Why She Left the Station

WTVD Anchor/Reporter Sydnee Scofield has left the station and is headed back West.

She told the News & Observer as to why she is left WTVD after just a couple of years.

She had planned to stay in the Triangle for longer, but this year has brought Scofield many struggles.

Her mother, who lives in Washington, has dealt with health issues. And the man she had been engaged to, Sam Marsh, was killed in a car accident about three months ago.

“I don’t have family here, and to go through something like that and not be near your people was just really hard. And I think it really reframed for me how short life is,” she said. “I know I sound so cliché, but tomorrow really is not promised.” “All of a sudden, it just felt so crazy for me to be thousands of miles away from my family,” she said.

Her goal is to land another job in TV news when she returns to Washington.
