Christina Erne is a meteorologist and a journalist at News 10, Albany's ABC/FOX affiliate.

The candidate should talk about how they have been leaders in previous jobs and experiences and how they will rise to the role of a leader in the current job. A news researcher runs the desk finding stories that are important, and has to be able to demonstrate that they can take charge and lead the news stories for the day when they have to.
