Laresa has more than 15 years in the communication and broadcast fields. She’s held a variety of roles including Morning Co-Host at WCCB, The Charlotte’s CW network. Laresa also served as the spokesperson for local amusement park Carowinds, and Fortune 50 company, Lowe’s Home Improvement. She still emcees and hosts for organizations she is passionate about.
