CARA FULLERTON
Cara Fullerton anchors the Global News at Noon Monday through Friday and is the live "roving reporter" weekdays on the Global News Morning Edition. Her most embarrassing moment was dressing in speedskating tights and "shuffling" across the ice at Calgary's Olympic Oval in speed skates. This was done on air and in front of several world class speedskaters from around the globe. Cara says "You can't be shy in this industry." |
