Biography

Stacia Naquin co-anchors ABC 6 News at 5, 6 and 11, as well as Fox 28 News at 10 with Bob Kendrick. She is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning reporter dedicated to shining a light on the issues impacting the Central Ohio community, including human trafficking, the opioid epidemic and justice system reform. Stacia also has a real passion for sharing the stories of our service members and their families.

Before arriving in Columbus, Stacia anchored the 4 pm news for KPNX in Phoenix and served as the station’s consumer investigative reporter, exposing bad business practices and saving the people of Arizona millions of dollars. During that time, she also wrote a weekly consumer column in the Arizona Republic, the state’s largest newspaper. Prior to her time in the Valley of the Sun, she anchored the morning news for KKTV in Colorado Springs and KSWO in her hometown of Lawton/Ft. Sill.

During her career, Stacia has covered stories from across the country, including the Aurora Theater shooting, Prince Harry’s visit to the United States and Super Bowl XLIX. She traveled back to her home state of Oklahoma after a deadly tornado made its way through Moore, taking viewers inside the cleanup and recovery efforts. She has also anchored extended breaking news coverage of the Coronavirus pandemic, Black Lives Matter protests in downtown Columbus, deadly wildfires in Colorado, and reported from the hardest-hit neighborhoods during the “Flood of the Century” in Phoenix.

Growing up a Navy brat in an Army town (Lawton/Ft. Sill, Oklahoma), Stacia continues to stay connected to the military community. A long-time supporter of the USO, you’ll find her volunteering every month at the USO Ohio lounge inside John Glenn International Airport, after serving as the Chair of the Advisory Council for USO Arizona and helping to raise thousands of dollars for the expansion of the Rocky Mountain USO facility on Fort Carson.

Stacia earned the prestigious “Commander’s Award for Public Service” from the Department of the Army for serving as an instructor and developing a course in interpersonal communication for Fort Carson’s Transition University, a pilot program focused on assisting soldiers with their transition to civilian life.

She has a Masters in Communication from the University of Oklahoma and spent almost a decade teaching Public Speaking and Interpersonal Communication at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, Pikes Peak Community College and Cameron University.

Stacia, her husband and son live in Dublin. You’ll find them exploring local parks, playgrounds and learning more about all the animals at the Columbus Zoo.
