Please join us in welcoming Aidyn Bruns to the 3News family! Aidyn has joined WKYC Studios as part of Tegna's Summer Internship Program, and her focus is right where her passion lies — weather.
A native of Minnesota, Aidyn knows a thing or two about tracking the elements. Growing up in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, where winters are fierce and weather is always a conversation, it's no surprise she developed a deep fascination with meteorology. That passion has driven her all the way to Norman, Oklahoma, where she is currently studying meteorology at the University of Oklahoma — one of the most respected meteorology programs in the country.
Heading into her senior year, Aidyn is already building an impressive résumé. At OU, she serves as both a weather anchor and senior producer for "OU Nightly," the university's student-run newscast. That dual role speaks volumes about her drive and versatility — she's not just learning the science of weather, she's learning how to communicate it clearly and lead behind the scenes at the same time. Those are exactly the kinds of skills that translate in a real newsroom.
Now she's bringing all of that to Cleveland for the summer, and she'll be learning alongside one of the best weather teams in Northeast Ohio. From Chief Meteorologist Betsy Kling to the rest of our outstanding forecasters, Aidyn is stepping into an environment where she'll be challenged, supported, and inspired every single day.
The Tegna Summer Internship Program runs from June 1 through August 7, so Aidyn will get a full taste of summer weather coverage in Northeast Ohio — and anyone who's spent a summer here knows it can throw just about anything at you.
We're thrilled to have her here. Welcome to Cleveland, Aidyn — we think you're going to love her!
