Laura Gunter
Laura Gunter began her career at KAIT in 1995 as a Production Assistant in Operations. After a year, she transferred to the News Department as an Associate Producer. In this position she says she had the privilege of working one on one with some of the best people in the business. During that time, she enhanced her writing and editing skills while establishing contacts with community leaders. In 1997 she became a Photojournalist for KAIT and has worked in that position ever since. While working full time at KAIT, she also graduated from A-State with a Bachelor's Degree in Broadcast News. Laura loves the community she gets to both live and work in. She enjoys being someone others can count on for information and help. Laura is grateful every day for the family she has at home, and the one she works with every day.
