Asiance, a new magazine for Asian American women, profiles CNBC anchor Melissa Lee, who covers banking, hedge funds and private equity, as well as reporting on China.
Here is an excerpt from the interview:
ASIANCE: What is a typical day like for you?
Melissa: On any given day I can really be anywhere; Englewood Cliffs, NJ or the NYSE. Naturally what kind of keeps it exciting is you never know where you are going to be and you never know what the market is going to do. But I would say typically the day starts at 6 in the morning. You read in. You get yourself going. You head into New Jersey to headquarters. I may be anchoring a show. I may be doing a specific report. These days we can be going to 11 at night, like last night.
ASIANCE: So if you‘re in Englewood Cliffs they’ll just drive you to the NYSE?
Melissa: Yeah usually it’s just logistical. There is no easy way to get to the Stock Exchange. And you’re usually in a rush. We’re usually on a deadline of some sort. I’m at the Exchange right now. We have a few shows that originate from the New York Stock Exchange: Squawk on The Street, The Call, which I’m doing today and The Closing Bell, which I’m doing today as well.
