Rehema Ellis

Rehema Ellis was born in 1954 in North Carolina, United States. She spent her childhood in Boston, Massachusetts. For her education, she attended Simmons College in Boston but transferred to Columbia University: School of Journalism, from where she graduated with a degree in Journalism.

Ellis has a son and they live together in New York City.

Ellis started out her career in Journalism as a reporter for KDKA-TV and Radio in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She later moved to WHDH-TV at Boston to work as a news presenter and reporter.

NBC News hired Ellis in 1994 to work as a general assignment reporter. She has worked for NBC for almost twenty years now and has done a lot of praiseworthy works during this period.

She managed to report the Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the plane crash on the Hudson River in 2009, the Presidential Elections in 2008, the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in 2011, the mass killings in Zaire, the death of Michael Jackson in 2009, and even the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Greece.

She was promoted as the lead correspondent in education in 2010 and she currently reports and covers topics related to education. She is one of the main correspondents of NBC Education Nation summit.

Ellis has received multiple prestigious awards including the Emmy Awards, Associated Press awards, Edward R. Murrow Awards and the National Association of Black Journalists awards.

Despite her admirable dedication in the field of Journalism, Rehema Ellis hasn’t been fully able to convert the support of her audience and views over the world into followers in social networking platforms.

She is available on Twitter as @rehemaellis and, unlike many reporters of her caliber and position, has only around 6600 followers. She isn’t usually active and has tweeted only around 676 times, which is a very low number for a journalist.

Ellis has managed to gather quite the sum in her bank account. But this isn’t quite surprising considering her years and years of service in the field of journalism.

Her exact net worth and salary hasn’t been revealed to any press or publication yet but it’s estimated that her net worth is approximately around $3 million.
