During the historic ‘irrational exuberance’ on Wall Street in the late 1990’s, Bonnie served as CNBC's News Update anchor, registering in focus group studies as one of the most well-recognized talents on the world's most well-known business news channel during the height of the longest bull market run in the history of the world's largest economy.
As News Editor at CNBC, Bonnie was responsible for choosing and writing world headlines critical to the viewing and investing public hungry for every geo-political tidbit that may or may not move the markets. Her hourly news updates were designed to inform and entertain, ending each segment with a signature kicker story ... a story to keep 'em talking. And they did ... as CNBC, NBC and parent GE continue to lose their grip.

Before NBC recruited Bonnie, she anchored Business News on Bloomberg TV when New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg was in the house. The morning television shows she anchored during her tenure at Bloomberg appeared on the USA Network. Bonnie also hosted The Bloomberg Personal Finance Show while working in the Park Avenue offices of Bloomberg TV. She remains an ardent supporter of the professional, well-managed office environment she experienced in the house that Mike built.
Bonnie was hired and rehired by Marty Haag to serve as Contact 8 Consumer Reporter at WFAA-TV. Teaming with Bonnie’s aggressive, advocacy journalism, the Contact 8 unit successfully tackled widely-known disreputable businesses, products and services like questionable car repair shops, an exploding baby bottle warmer when heated as directed on a busy mother’s stove and contest mailings sent to the elderly and the poor, those least able to afford the paper come-ons.
Some remember the story on newborn rats dispensed - with nuts - from a peanut vending machine. As one interview subject said, "I was wonderin' why they was tastin' so funny ... " Her profile skyrocketed in Dallas when News Director Marty Haag, eternally ahead of his time, dreamed up a sweeps series called "Inexpensive Vacations" in which Bonnie was assigned to cover 5 vacation locations and asked to appear in every shot, a series that included the then controversial white bathing suit in Cancun.
Bonnie worked with talented producers and writers at KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh, including Emmy Award winning producer Jocelyn Hough. She passed through KYW-TV as producer, writer and “SNC” Satellite News Channel anchor and served as news director/anchor for WHYY-TV, the public television station for Philadelphia, licensed to great city of Wilmington, Delaware, where Bonnie was awarded a Proclamation of Service by the city.
Bonnie has also served two tours of duty in local Aspen television, working in the most gloriously beautiful climate on the planet, first as news director / anchor at Grassroots TV, then morning host at Channel 16 in the early 90's and TV Aspen Channel 19.
Bonnie is a Kiplinger Fellow. She earned her Master's Degree from the prestigious Kiplinger Public Affairs Reporting program at The Ohio State University where she also earned a Bachelor's Degree in Communications.
Bonnie has worked on several major motion pictures including "Trading Places" where she worked under the direction of John Landis. Her work in films includes the NBC Movie of the Week "Murder in High Places" shot in Aspen, Colorado. She also worked on "Born on the Fourth of July" with Tom Cruise as well as "Aspen Extreme" with Peter Berg.
Bonnie is an outdoorswoman. She skis, hikes, bikes, rides motorcycles, dance-skates on rollerblades and can occasionally hit a golf ball. She is also an avid perennial gardener and a frustrated domestic goddess. She is active in church and volunteer projects.
