Deirdre is a four-time Emmy award winner in writing, anchoring, and reporting and has a bachelor's degree in Journalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia. She's traveled the world with KCRA photographer Mike Domalaog as a member of the Hearst Television Olympic Team. Together, they've covered the last nine Olympics -- 2000 Sydney, 2002 Salt Lake City, 2004 Athens, 2006 Torino, 2008 Beijing, 2010 Vancouver, 2012 London, 2014 Sochi and 2016 Rio de Janeiro. You can catch up on Deirdre and Domi's adventures in her Olympic blog, Deirdre's Diary. She's also a wife, mom of two sons, and likes to point out that being a #boymom is WAY more tiring than getting up at 2:15 a.m. or finishing Ironman.
