Kodichi is the WABI TV5 bureau reporter for Waterville.
Born and raised in Houston, she enjoys spending quality time with her dog, Khloe.
In her spare time, she indulges in DIY projects that may or may not be completed but it's the thought that counts.
She looks forward to learning to drive in the snow here in Maine.
