When I think of Annaka Chesnutt I think of the word passion. Annaka and I worked together for 2 years at WAVY TV 10 and Fox 43, from 2015-2017, and I’ve known her for over 6. She is a talented, skilled, driven, dedicated, hardworking, and fun co-worker. She fights for what she believes in and will do everything in her power to get the job done right. There are so many stand-out moments working with her, but this was my highlight. We covered Tidewater Comicon together. I was the camera operator, and she was the interviewer. I’ve watched professional wrestling since I was a child. There were two famous wrestlers at the event, instead of taking the lead, she let me interview them while she jumped on the camera. What a heart, what a co-worker, what a friend. I also remember working with her at events where she was the emcee. Some weren’t well organized, and Annaka had to scramble to get information, seconds before she’s supposed to talk in front of thousands of people. She always stepped up to the microphone: presenting herself, WAVY TV 10, Fox 43, and the event with poise, personality, and professionalism without anyone realizing what had gone one behind the scenes. I highly recommend Annaka. She’s got great energy, determination, and there’s no better person to have in your corner. She would be a fantastic addition to any team, and ambassador for your company.
