Gaskin
Meteorologist in Columbia, South Carolina
I am a meteorologist with an extensive background in severe weather tracking and radar interpretation.
Currently, I am a meteorologist at WIS TV in Columbia SC, before that I was a meteorologist at WNCT TV in Greenville, NC. There I tracked tornadoes and severe thunderstorms using Baron's Viper Radar. I have also been a meteorologist at WWAY in Wilmington, NC and WPDE in Myrtle Beach, SC.
Educationally, I have a Bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism from the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC. I also hold a Master's of Science in Geosciences and Broadcast Meteorology from Mississippi State University in Starkville, MS.
I am well known by teachers across the Midlands of SC as a source for weather knowledge. I am often invited into classrooms to share my weather knowledge with students. I am frequently called upon to emcee or judge local events and speak to young students and church groups about turning dreams into realities through hard work and perseverance.
My volunteerism did not start when I returned to the Midlands. I have traveled to the Island of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic/ Haiti) as a missionary, while there I helped to build a church and assisted at an orphanage. In the US, I have served as a volunteer with CODA (Citizens Opposed to Domestic Abuse) helping women and children to rebuild their lives after being victims of domestic violence.
Personally, I am an active member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. I am married to my soul mate J. Anthony Gaskin and we are the proud parents of three handsome little boys!
