WNEM TV 5 Carrie Sharp

Carrie Sharp

Carrie Sharp is an Emmy award winning journalist and comes to Mid-Michigan via Louisville, Kentucky.

Carrie was actually born in Texas but spent most of her childhood and adult life in the "Bluegrass State." Since middle school, Carrie knew she wanted to be in the news business. A college internship got her hooked for life. For 12 years, Carrie worked at WAVE TV the NBC affiliate in Louisville. Most of that time she anchored the "Sunrise" morning show and hit the streets daily as a reporter.

That's how Carrie met her husband, Doug Sharp, a Bay City native living in Louisville at the time.

Doug competed in the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City winning a bronze medal in the 4-man Bobsled. Carrie first met Doug while interviewing him for a story.

The two married in 2008 and decided to head north in 2010.

You can catch Carrie on MY5 at 4, TV5 at 5:30 and FOX66 at 10PM.

In her free time, Carrie loves to cook, garden, water ski and workout. She also has a cocker spaniel, Sally, which she spoils rotten!
