Jennifer Stacy joined the WINK News Team in January, 2007 and serves as the station's weekend Anchor and weekday Health Reporter. Jen came to WINK from chilly Toledo, Ohio, where she served as NBC24's primary news anchor for five years.

Jen is proud to serve on the Board of Directors for Candlelighters of Southwest Florida, helping to organize fun events for children battling cancer and their families. She is also an active volunteer with the American Heart Association, helping to raise funds for research and awareness about heart disease and stroke.

In Toledo, Jennifer had the opportunity to embark on a variety of field anchoring and reporting assignments. Her favorite: coordinating and anchoring the first-ever live underwater broadcast in the Great Lakes from a shipwreck off the coast of Kelley's Island in Lake Erie. Jen also enjoyed being the station ambassador for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and is proud of the more the $1,000,000 dollars NBC24 raised to help kids in need.

Before joining the NBC24 news team, Jennifer worked as the primary anchor for WTAP-TV, the NBC station serving Parkersburg, West Virginia and Marietta, Ohio.

Before jumping in front of the camera, Jen held various news and production positions at stations in Boston and Cleveland. She is a graduate of Boston University.

Jen grew up on the shores of Lake Erie near Cleveland, but is happy to now be near her family who traded Ohio winters for the sun of Cape Coral. She remains an avid scuba diver and boater, and loves the fact that she never has to winterize her boat again. If you see her out on the river or the Gulf, cruise by and say hi.
