Kristen Ross is excited to begin her career as a reporter at KBTX. 

Originally from Philadelphia, Kristen first came to Texas her freshman year of college to pursue dancing as a world-famous Kilgore College Rangerette. That's when Kristen had the opportunity to perform at the Indianapolis 500, Chicago Jingle Elf Parade, the Cotton Bowl, and Governor Rick Perry's Inauguration. 

During her time as a Rangerette, Kristen was interviewed and was featured in the Dallas Morning News article, "Timeless as Texas.” This is when Kristen first realized her passion for news reporting. 

After finishing two of her most memorable years at Kilgore College, Kristen followed in the footsteps of her grandfather and made her way to Aggieland to attend Texas A&M. While there, Kristen was involved with Sigma Phi Lambda sorority, EmSu Dance Company, Lambda Pi Eta, and served as a research assistant under Dr. Michael Stephenson. 

During the summer of 2005, Kristen studied abroad and lived with a host family in Toledo, Spain where she was immersed in the language and culture. 

After graduating from A&M with a degree in Speech Communication in May 2006, Kristen had the opportunity to train and study under a 20-year veteran of NBC in Washington, DC. 

Kristen is very excited to be back in the heart of Aggieland. In her free time, she enjoys dancing, being with her friends and family, and playing with her dog. She was married to Austin in July 2007.
