Kimberly Lohman Suiters is a reporter and anchor for News4.
Raised in Arlington, Suiters has deep roots in our area. She graduated from Langley High School in McLean, and her entire family still lives in Northern Virginia.
When Suiters returned to the Washington area and joined News4 in June 2008, it was also a homecoming to the NBC4 studios. She interned with Lea Thompson and Liz Crenshaw in News4's Consumer Unit while in college and assisted Tom Sherwood at two political conventions several years later. Suiters also worked undercover with the Washington Bureau of NBC's news magazine, Dateline.
Suiters attended Bucknell University then earned a Master's degree at the University of Missouri. She met her husband during her first reporting job at WYFF in Greenville, S.C. Also a journalist from Northern Virginia, he and Suiters were both offered jobs at KOCO-TV in Oklahoma City where they worked for several years. They teamed up to cover the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003.
While reporting on a story in Oklahoma City, Suiters met Dr. Phil McGraw's sister-in-law, Cindi Broaddus, who was severely burned when someone doused her with acid. Broaddus asked Suiters to write a book about her story, and A Random Act was published by HarperCollins in 2005. In 2009, Suiters was the ghost-writer for a second book, Twist of Faith (Tate Publishing), about a tornado survivor she also met while working on a story in Oklahoma.
Suiters and her husband were married at St. John's Lafayette Square -- the yellow church across from the White House. They now live with their daughter in Northern Virginia.
