Eager for more experience, Lauren Dorsett left Los Angeles to become a reporter for KCFW in Kalispell, Montana.

Her experience there landed her an anchor/producer position for Montana Today at KECI in Missoula, Montana, where she received the E.B. Craney Award for the state’s top female broadcaster in 2005.

Later that year she joined ABC 27 as an anchor/reporter for News at 6 and News at 11 shows.
