Broadcasting career

Staniszewski began her career in 2006 as a news reporter at CTV Yorkton in Saskatchewan, before moving to sports reporting at CTV Prince Albert.[2] In 2007, she relocated to CTV Saskatoon as the station's sports anchor and reporter covering the WHL and university athletics.[3]

Two years later, Staniszewski returned home to CTV Edmonton in 2009, where she covered the Edmonton Oilers, the Edmonton Eskimos and the 2010 Grey Cup, as well as anchored the station's top-rated nightly and weekend sportscasts.[2] After covering the 2010 Grey Cup, TSN vice-president Mark Melliere was looking for someone to cover TSN's Jennifer Hedger's anchor position while she left for maternity leave.[4] Staniszewski has co-hosted the weekend Sportscentre alongside Bryan Mudryk briefly following Holly Horton's departure in 2011, but has remained there since July 6, 2013. Soon after, she moved over to the morning Sportscentre co-hosting with Kate Beirness, becoming the first regular female duo to anchor on the show.[5] This continued until 2018. She now anchors SportsCentre regularly with another female, Lindsay Hamilton, and the female duo act as the alternative morning show to SC with Jay and Dan.[1]

Personal life

Staniszewski was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta,[6] and is of Polish descent.[7][8]

She was an athlete growing up, excelling in basketball and volleyball, winning a provincial title in the latter in high school. She then earned a business degree from the University of Alberta but decided at the age of 26 that she did not want to pursue a career in business, but rather a career as a sports broadcaster.[5] She went on to complete her broadcasting degree at NAIT in Edmonton. After that, she moved to five different cities in two years, and ended with a stint in the WWE.[4]

gollark: I mean, governments seemingly aren't doing much, because apparently the general people don't like it.
