Our Morning Anchor has been with KTAL for six years. Shelli Briery was raised in Vivian, Louisiana. She decided to chase her passion for broadcast journalism after being encouraged by a high school teacher who sponsored the school's newspaper. Shelli has never met a stranger and loves to talk, so she decided a degree in broadcast journalism is just what she needed.

Shelli graduated from Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana with a degree in Broadcast Journalism and Political Science. She began working for KTAL before she received her diploma and has held a list of positions in the Shreveport and Texarkana newsrooms.

Shelli has chased news across the Four States region and now devotes her reporting to issues facing Senior Adults in the region.

She cares about the community and region in which she grew up and hopes to make a difference with her reporting each day.

When she isn't working, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends.
