Cassie joined The Barking Project (TBP) in October of 2025 after meeting other members who were promoting TBP at WFAA, where she works. She has always had a passion for helping out the local animal shelters in her community, so this was a no-brainer. Her primary role is to help promote TBP on social media and through local news outlets! 

Cassie grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, and holds a degree in Meteorology from Western Kentucky University. She landed her first on-air job as a part-time meteorologist at WNKY in Bowling Green, KY, during her senior year at WKU. Before coming to WFAA, she worked as a meteorologist at KWTV in Oklahoma City for 10 years. Her first full-time position was at WQAD in the Quad Cities for 5 years. Her interest in weather began when she was only seven years old, after a big snowstorm left 16 inches of snow over her hometown. Since then, severe weather has fascinated Cassie - but her ideal weather is sunshine and 75 degrees.

When not forecasting, Cassie's hobbies include exploring North Texas, finding the perfect patio spot, staying active, whether it’s going to the gym or trying to golf, listening to podcasts, and cooking. She has one six-year-old son, named Lucas, who is a cocker spaniel.
