Kristen Berset Interview
KRISTEN BERSET – Copa Style Magazine
Q: What made you interested in Television news?
Kristen: Since a very young age I was interested in television. I was extremely shy talking with people face to face, but put me on stage or behind a camera and that is where I was most comfortable. When it comes to Broadcast News, I was one of those that always wanted to know everything that was going on, what everyone was talking about. I didn’t want to be left out of the loop. There are so many incredible stories out there to be told, I’m thankful I get to do that.
Q: Who was your favorite News Anchor early in your career?
Kristen: I remember looking up to Diane Sawyer. I admired her poise and confidence on the air. She broke barriers for women in Television News.
Q: Were you ever a fashion model at anytime?
Kristen: I began modeling when I was 12 years old in my home state of Florida. I’ve appeared in Seventeen, Cosmopolitan and ESPN the Magazine, among others. When I got to college, I spent time modeling and acting in New York City. Once I graduated, I decided to make it my full time career. So I did that for a several years in Miami before deciding to get back into Television.
Q: How do you always look so marvelous while working those crazy hours?
Kristen: Haha… the Make-up has you fooled! No seriously, I try to get as much sleep as possible when I can. Plus, exercise and eating right is an integral part to staying and looking energized.
Q: Have you found Washington, DC to be the ultimate place to work?
Kristen: In my line of work it’s like hitting the jackpot. In the Sports world, you have teams representing every professional sport, plus several prestigious collegiate programs. I also enjoy that high school sports are important in this area. Washington DC is such a melting pot, and never boring.
Q: What was you most interesting assignment?
Kristen: Back in 2008, I was the Co-Host of a Nationally syndicated fishing show. We had the opportunity to take our show to the Middle East. We spent ten days traveling throughout Kuwait and Iraq, finishing the trip at Victory Base Complex in Baghdad. While there we treated over 500 servicemen and women to a fishing tournament at Z Lake. It was a once in a lifetime journey. We met the heroes of our country, heard some incredible stories and it opened our eyes to the sacrifices these men and women make to keep us safe.
Q: How would you define your individual fashion on camera and while out on the town?
Kristen: I have a fairly classic sense of fashion, but I throw a little flair in there every once in a while. I wear whatever makes me feel comfortable. If I could live in jeans I would! However, I do enjoy getting all glammed up every now and then. When I am on the air I try to be as colorful as possible, but I need something that’s comfortable and versatile because I never know if I will be working in the studio or out in the field that day.
Q: We see that you competed for the Miss Florida pageant, how did you enjoy that experience?
Kristen: It was one of the most amazing experiences. I competed in my first pageant at 20 years old.. and 2 years later won the title of Miss Florida USA 2004, so everything happened so fast. I made appearances all over the country, and the process really helped me come out of my shell and mature. I placed in the Top Ten at the Miss USA pageant that year. I met some incredible people during my reign, including many of the women I competed with. To win a pageant takes lots of training, not just physically but mentally as well. You work to improve your social skills and interview skills. All those hours of coaching has played a vital role in my success in Broadcast Television.
