Amy Davis
Emmy-award winning reporter Amy Davis is passionate about helping people. Her persistent pursuit of justice has landed scam artists in prison, changed state laws and city ordinances, and has resulted in businesses refunding thousands of dollars owed to customers who couldn't otherwise get their money.
Amy is a native Houstonian. She attended Aldine Senior High School and the University of Houston, where she majored in Journalism and received a minor in Political Science.
Her investigations have won accolades and honors from the Texas Associated Press Broadcasters, Society of Professional Journalists, the Houston Press Club, the Harris County Medical Society and the Lone Star Emmy Chapter.
After Amy started her TV news career as an intern at KPRC 2 News, she went on to work as an anchor and reporter in Beaumont, Asheville, North Carolina, and San Antonio before she came back home to KPRC 2 in May 2005 as an investigative reporter.
