Cyera Williams joined the WMAR-2 News team in September 2024 and proudly serves as the station’s Voice for Veterans reporter, dedicated to telling the stories of Maryland’s veteran community and amplifying the voices of those who have served. She is passionate about highlighting the challenges, triumphs, and everyday experiences of veterans and their families.
Throughout her career, Cyera has covered a wide range of stories—from breaking news such as the Reading, PA R.M. Palmer Chocolate Factory explosion, to deeply personal features like a couple navigating simultaneous cancer diagnoses. She thrives on the fast pace of daily news, while also finding fulfillment in passion projects that spotlight Black-owned businesses and follow patients on their road to recovery—stories that resonate deeply with local communities.
Before joining WMAR, Cyera reported and anchored at WPMT FOX43 News in York, Pennsylvania, and WKTV NewsChannel 2 in Utica, New York. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Communications from Eastern Connecticut State University and a master’s degree in Broadcast and Digital Journalism from Syracuse University.
Outside the newsroom, Cyera enjoys immersing herself in fantasy and sci-fi novels, indulging in quirky low-budget Netflix films, and exploring new foods and local businesses. At home, she loves spending time with her two cats, Eden and Sage.
Cyera is always looking for stories that uplift, inform, and inspire—especially those that bring attention to veterans’ issues and community voices that deserve to be heard. She looks forward to meeting viewers across Maryland and sharing their stories. Got a story idea? Reach out at Cyera.Williams@wmar.com.
