Bridget Ryan

Co-Host, Breakfast Television

Born in Painsville Ohio, Bridget moved to Edmonton with her entire family when she was 9 years old! Raised in a 'theatre family', she played her first role as a 'banjo-playing monkey' when she as four only to graduate to the more challenging role of  'the rock' when she was 5. Bridget learned at a very young age that she loved talking to people and interviewing just about anyone. She spent hours sitting at a little desk and chair in front of her house, talking to anyone who would 'happen' by, honing her 'interview' skills.
 
Her travels as a professional actor have taken her all over North America, including living and working in New York for seven years and a national tour that took her across the country. Upon her return to Edmonton back in 2000 - she turned on channel 7 one early morning and watched a program that was  committed to the community, showed a passion for people, and a desire to start the day right - with a huge laugh! She had hoped that one day she would be a part of it - and thankfully, that day is here.

Education:

University of Cincinnati, BFA Theatre
McEwan, Theatre Arts Diploma

What I Love About My Job The Most:

To start the day in the best possible way with people I love: Edmontonians and Albertans! I meet the most amazing people in this community who are dedicated to making a difference. I am asked to help those people in making a difference, to which I scream: 'OF COURSE I WILL!' I have a great job. I meet great people. I work with great people. I get to show off this great city.
