Speaking about her early life, Kooiman grew up in Charlotte and spent her formative years there, attending Myers Park High School, and where she played softball. Subsequently, she went on to enroll into the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.
Kooiman started off her career by working as a sideline reporter for Fox Sports, still during her college days in 2004. Having graduated, she naturally continued her work in that field and became a reporter, anchor and video journalist for WWAY in 2005. She left the previously mentioned position and moved to Toledo, Ohio, serving as a morning anchor and reporter for the local NBC affiliate. It is safe to say that her career was progressing during this time, as she was associated with NBC, one of the most prominent American television networks, and her net worth was certainly growing too. During that time, she was busy and was also working for U.S. Marshals, serving as a franchise reporter.
As of 2008, she moved back to her hometown, where she worked for Fox News Rising as an anchor/reporter/host, on a four-hour news and entertainment morning show on WCCB, the affiliate of Fox at that time, reporting on local stories, weather, traffic and entertainment. In December 2011, Anna became a Fox News Channel correspondent for New York and covered stories regarding health, fitness and also worked on general assignment reporting. In addition to that, Kooiman was hosting the weekend edition of ‘’Fox and Friends’’, and worked on stories regarding terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, California and Orlando, Florida, and Super Storm Sandy and the 2016 blizzard.
Besides that, she had another notable project, being the host of the franchise ‘’Roadtrip with Anna Kooiman’’, in which she travelled across the United States and checked off the items from a bucket list. However, despite her successful career in the United States, Anna went on to move to Sydney, Australia, leaving her previous jobs. As of today, she serves as a part of corporate synergy of 21st Century Fox, Foxtel and Ten Network Holdings, and is a substitute anchor and panelist for programs such as Studio 10 and The Project on Network 10.
In her private life, Kooiman has been married to Tim Stuckey since 2015. She announced her engagement on her Facebook account, after her fiancée proposed to her in Sydney, when they were on a vacation. Their wedding ceremony was held at Manhattan’s Central Park Loeb Boathouse. Anna’s husband is also working in the same field as her. She is widely recognized for her charitable efforts, and raised over $55,000 on Crowdrise making donations to Folds of Honor, gained through running marathons in Boston and New York. In April 2016, Kooiman was crowned the Festival Queen for the North Carolina Azalea Festival.
