Career Experience

In order to achieve such a high position in the media sphere that Wendi Nix can boast now, she had to go through a long and hard way, beginning with her internship and ending with a landing at the ESPN channel. At first, Wendi Nix became an intern at a local TV station where she gained her first work experience.

Following it, she was hired by the WPDE TV station, an affiliate of the ABC channel, located in South Carolina, the home state of the journalist. After spending several at the WDPE channel, Wendi Nix went on to work at the NESN regional TV station, the headquarters of which is located in Watertown, Massachusetts.

Following her success at a local and regional level, Wendi Nix was invited to join the Fox Sports Net. At the Fox Channel, she proved herself as a talented and dedicated journalist, and this paved her further way to the ESPN channel.
