Her last day on air is June 21.
“First and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude to this incredible community I have had the privilege to be a part of in Detroit. The warmth, kindness, and support I have received over the years has truly shaped my life in ways I cannot adequately express,” she wrote. “From the friendships made to the memories created, this chapter will always be thought of as nothing short of remarkable.”
David launched her TV journalism career working at NBC News’ D.C. bureau where she worked as a White House producer, assignment desk manager and production assistant.
