Mrs. Massey graduated from Jacksonville High School in 1994. She received her degree in Broadcast Journalism from Arkansas State University in Jonesboro in 1998.

Most Arkansans recognize Mrs. Massey from her time at THV 11 News. She spent more than a decade there and anchored the weekday evening newscasts. She also produced some of the station’s most popular series, “Everyone Has a Story,” and “Fishing’ with Liz.”

Throughout her career, Mrs. Massey has been recognized repeatedly with local, state and regional awards.

Mrs. Massey volunteers with a number of community organizations and charities. One close to her heart involves the Arkansas Rice Depot. In three years, she helped collect a remarkable “three-quarters of a million diapers” and more than a million baby wipes for families in need. She also raised more than $16,000 for the American Diabetes Association.

Mrs. Massey and her husband, Keith, live in Cabot with their son, Cruz, and daughter, Carrington.
