Jennifer Kveglis
Jennifer joined the FOX 13 team in 2023 and reports across the Bay Area. Her passion lies in connecting with the community through storytelling.
Jennifer doesn’t come far from her last market, Fort Myers, FL, where she was an MMJ/Reporter at WBBH/WZVN covering everything from the COVID-19 pandemic to elections. Her passion lies in severe weather coverage. In Fort Myers, she was at the frontlines of brush fire season and Hurricanes Ian and Nicole. Her mission became to keep the community informed and share their stories, following the devastation.
Jennifer also covered Hurricanes Irma and Michael in her first market, Sarasota as an Anchor/MMJ at WSNN. There, Jennifer also had the pleasure of skydiving with the SOCOM Para Commandos and repelling down a high-rise building for charity, all while reporting.
Her passion for being both behind and in front of the camera stems from her experience in her high school’s TV Club. Jennifer would frequently anchor the morning show and produce segments.
She then pursued a Film & Media Arts degree at The University of Tampa. It didn’t take long for her to fall in love with the city.
During her time at UTampa, Jennifer interned at FOX 13. Through her experience shadowing reporters and photojournalists, she quickly fell in love with journalism. Now, she’s so excited to be back in Tampa, joining the FOX 13 team once again!
Jennifer is a Jersey girl through and through and is always on the hunt for the best pizza and bagels in town! When she’s not reporting, you can catch Jennifer walking Bayshore or catching some rays at St. Pete Beach.
Yes, if you were wondering the "K" in Kveglis is silent!
If you have a story you think she should cover or just want to say hi, you can email her at Jennifer.Kveglis@Fox.com.
