Previous Experience
Joy Lim Nakrin joined 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS in November 2010 from FOX Connecticut, where she spent two years as a morning anchor, reporter and producer. While there, she covered several local stories that garnered national attention including the murder of a Yale University graduate student on campus and the case of a Connecticut resident convicted of trying to bomb Times Square.
