She has covered conflicts in Iraq, Kosovo, Bosnia, Israel/Palestine, Kuwait, Somalia, Rwanda, Northern Ireland and Haiti.
But she also has reported on peacetime news events in Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Morocco, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, South Africa, Zaire and many other countries.
Ms. Vester earned her B.S. magna cum laude in Journalism at Boston University in 1987. She studied as a Fulbright Scholar of Middle East Affairs in Egypt from 1988 to 1989; during this time, she frequently traveled to Gaza and the West Bank to write about the first Intifada.

I will watch her with a different attitude and more appreciation now!
I remember waking early just to watch her on NBC Sunrise. Good Catholic girl who tragically married someone besides Petronski.
