Presenter
Sloan Champney with the Better Business Bureau
Sloan was born in Roanoke, Virginia, and have not strayed far from the Star City. She went to Ferrum College and double-majored in Media Communications and Art and then jumped right into the news industry as a lead producer for WFXR News. This year she decided to take her next step forward as the Public Relations and Communications Specialist at the BBB Serving Western Virginia, where she can continue my love of reporting important topics. She strives to make sure the public is aware of dangers in our community by spreading timely information, so they do not fall victim to scams.
