Sashem Brey

Sashem Brey grew up loving two things: talking and TV. Now she is proud and grateful to have made a career out of both!

Brey is an Ohio-born-and-bred, Emmy-winning anchor who joined 13ABC in 2004. The former night-owl was surprised to find there was a cheerful morning person hibernating within, and she cherishes being welcomed into your home via the #1-rated "Action News Good Morning," each weekday, from 4:30 a.m. - 7:00 a.m.

In 2011, Brey was honored with the "Toledo 20 Under 40" Award recognizing her contributions to the community. She has also covered some of Northwest Ohio's biggest news stories: she provided live reports to CNN as the only TV reporter on-scene when the 2005 Neo-Nazi Riots exploded in the streets, donned a life jacket to cover devastating flooding in Findlay in 2007, and nabbed an exclusive interview with American Idol runner-up (and Northwest Ohio native) Crystal Bowersox in 2011.

Before arriving in Toledo, Sashem graduated Summa Cum Laude from The Ohio State University (GO BUCKS!) while tackling behind-the-scenes work at WSYX-ABC 6/FOX 28 News and WSNY-FM in Columbus. She also worked at E! News in Los Angeles and KLBK/KAMC in Lubbock, Texas, where she won several Associated Press awards for her anchoring and reporting.
