Marie Skeffington

Marie Skefington is a columnist and correspondent for News 9 Miami, covering Lifestyle & Everyday Living, Parenting & Family Life, Entertainment, and Food & Dining. Her writing blends real-world experience with a relatable voice – equal parts practical, honest, and warm – shaped by years working with people across customer service, IT and insurance environments where listening, empathy, and problem-solving mattered every day. A devoted single mother of four daughters, Marie approaches stories through the lens of modern family life: the chaos, the humor, the lessons, and the growth. She writes about what people actually live – juggling responsibilities, finding balance, raising strong girls, and carving out moments of joy in between. From film and television to home routines, relationships, and the comfort of a great meal, her work connects everyday experiences to bigger conversations around resilience and women’s empowerment. Outside the newsroom, she’s an avid reader, enthusiastic home-cook-turned-foodie, and believer that ordinary moments deserve attention because they shape who we become.
