"I think what makes me tick in terms of stories and memories at work are usually based on the story ideas that I enterprise on my own.\u00A0 For example, my dad is a dermatologist so growing up, I learned a lot about skin cancer and its dangers. Then, just a couple months ago, I was at dinner with a group of friends\u2026 2 of the girls said they'd already had to have minor surgeries to remove cancerous moles. It was scary for them -- and led me to start a conversation with my dad and other local dermatologists. Turns out it's a big issue affecting young women across the country. That led me to my first sweeps series piece for November. They're stories I'm very proud of.Connect with Lexy: Facebook | Twitter | G+ | emailMarch 2, 2012, was, of course, a day that caused people's lives to change forever. It was also a day that led me to some of the most important coverage I feel like I've done to date. I was called in to cover the damage the Sunday morning after the storm. It was like a scene from a movie and led me to not only doing live updates for WLKY, but also for WLWT in Cincinnati and phone interviews with the BBC in London. I spent a lot of time in southern Indiana over the next several weeks.\u00A0 Everyone there was so nice and helpful, even though they'd just endured such hardships. I then helped organize our coverage of the 1 year anniversary of the tornados which I field anchored from Henryville.Read Lexy's bio | See memorable photos of Lexy at WLKYBesides the hard-hitting stuff, I've gotten to do a lot of fun events while at WLKY! One of the best weeks was Derby Week coverage from the backside. Churchill Downs is one of my favorite places and I grew up going to the backside before school every Derby Week. This year, my family and friends came out to watch our live reports from the backside. A big highlight was meeting Secretariat's derby winning jockey, Ron Turcotte -- Awesome!\u00A0Some other unforgettable memories surround NCAA basketball coverage. When UK won in 2012, I got to travel to Atlanta and New Orleans to follow the Cards and Cats. This year, I got to tag along with the UofL women's basketball team as the underdog Cards shocked everyone and made it to the national championship game in the New Orleans arena. I am totally on their bandwagon and can't wait to see them play this year.The great thing about my job is that I never know where the day is going to take me, who I'll meet or what I'll learn about that day. Of course, my coworkers make it all worthwhile, too!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
