Kovacs started her career in journalism 17 years ago, grinding it out as a daily reporter, and building her journalism skills by finding stories that inform the community.
She began at Global Winnipeg in 1998, as a reporter and anchor. Kovacs has turned her focus to bringing more community stories to the forefront. Her passion for storytelling and the city come together in a weekly series called Better Winnipeg, which runs on Global News and globalnews.ca/Winnipeg.
