In the post, Chandler said her family has "a lot on our plate" in the future — her dad is beginning cancer treatment and her dog is about to undergo

surgery — but that she plans to remain in Memphis.

"I have some exciting plans for the future that I can’t wait to share when the time is right," Chandler wrote in the post.

Chandler has served in the Memphis market for several years now. Before her time with Fox13 and her recent appointment with WREG, she was with ABC 24 and Fox 16 in Memphis, along with a previous stint with WXIA-TV in Atlanta, Georgia.
