Ashley Nagaoka anchors Hawaii News Now's "First at Four" newscast and the popular midday round-up show, "This Is Now.” After graduating from college, Ashley went on to become a news reporter and producer at KGMB, Honolulu's CBS affiliate. The Kauai-native then moved across the country, to Washington, D.C., where she worked as press secretary and spokeswoman for then-U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa. After five years on Capitol Hill, Ashley moved back to Hawaii and in 2017 re-joined KGMB, this time as a member of the Hawaii News Now team. She serves her community on numerous boards and youth programs and has a very busy schedule so we were thrilled to include her this season where she shares with us very personal recipes that represent her mom, dad and brother.
