Tess Koppelman
Tess Koppelman spent 16 years as a TV news reporter, winning many state-wide honors and a regional Emmy award (plus two nominations). She worked as a reporter at Fox 4 News in KC from 2001-2014 covering everything from elections and court cases to tornadoes and blizzards. Her favorite part of the job was doing human interest stories.
Tess is no stranger to theater life and paid her dues as a “chorus member” in many community theater shows; eventually performed Aunt Eller in her college production of Oklahoma! When she left TV news, she felt acting calling her again. She’s been a voiceover and on-camera actor for commercial and corporate videos since 2014. She also teaches a graduate course at the University of Kansas focused on strategic writing and presenting skills. Tess runs a boutique PR company, Tess K Communications, where she helps clients tap into the power of storytelling. Tess lives in Kansas City, KS with her husband and two children.
