BEAUMONT, Texas — Camryn Burchett is moving from behind the assignments desk out into the field next week when she starts her new job as a reporter for the Daybreak team on 12news.
Burchett has been working on the assignment desk since first coming to 12News in October 2022.
Her first day on-air with the Daybreak team will be on Monday morning, May 13, 2024.
“Camryn is an energetic champion for the people of Southeast Texas," said news director Ginny Sweeney. "We are thrilled to have her on the streets protecting our families and telling the stories that matter.”
Burchett recently worked alongside 12News anchor Jordan WIlliams to help report on the trial of Clayton Foreman who was found guilty in the 1995 murder of former Beaumont teacher Mary Catherine Edwards.
She also helped produce the "Sounds of the Season" Christmas specials that first aired in 2022 and featured Southeast Texas high school bands and choirs singing and playing Christmas carols.
Burchett is a Nederland High School grad, who was born in Beaumont.
Before joining the 12News team, she worked as a camera operator for Dave Campbell's Texas Football and worked as a para-professional at schools in Cypress and Houston before coming back to Southeast Texas.
