KSL Television’s resident shrink and food blogger “Jamie Cooks It Up” keynote the morning and afternoon sessions.
Dr. Liz Hale, KSL Television and radio correspondent, is an expert in family and relationships. A former radio host of Bonneville’s “Dr. Liz Hale Show,” she has become a household name to many. As KSL Studio 5′s resident shrink, she discusses a wide variety of hot-topics ranging from sex to stress (sometimes in the same segment).
Jamie Eskelson has been blogging about food since 2009. Her goal is to help regular folks cook fabulous food. She posts recipes two to four times each week with photos and step-by-step instructions. Each post comes with a commentary about the recipe. She says everyone can learn to be a great cook; it just takes a little instruction, a great recipe and time to practice.
The Outstanding Woman of Southeastern Utah will be presented by last year’s winner Debbie Prichard.
