Elissa Borden joined WCAX in March of 2020 as an MMJ and producer for weekend mornings. In August of 2020 she moved into a new role as the Weekend Morning Anchor.
She comes to us from our sister station, WLUC, in Marquette, Michigan. This Massachusetts native attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst and graduated in 2019 with B.A. in Journalism and a minor in Natural Resource Conservation.
In her free time she likes to bike, go to the beach, care for her vegetable plants, spend time with her fish, and hang out with friends. She loves animals and the environment. She's absolutely smitten with the Champlain Valley and can't wait to continue to explore the area. If you have any good restaurant recommendations - this foodie is all ears!
