Jolie Sherman joined the 7 Action News team in March of 2025 as an MMJ, or multimedia journalist, and is thrilled to be back home in Michigan!
A Metro Detroit native, Jolie grew up in Bloomfield Hills and was part of the first graduating class of the new Bloomfield Hills High School in 2016.
One thing about her, she was always busy after school balancing homework with dance class and her competitive speech and debate team, an activity she began in 6th grade at West Hills Middle School and one that quickly became her passion.
As a sophomore in high school, Jolie was offered a scholarship to Illinois State University (Go Redbirds!) to compete on their nationally ranked speech team. There, she majored in journalism and graduated in May of 2020 during the pandemic.
Right after college, Jolie landed her first job as an MMJ / Reporter in Burlington, Vermont. Two years later, she moved to Hartford, Connecticut, where she worked for three years and received three New England Emmy nominations for her work as a morning and dayside reporter.
Outside of reporting, Jolie loves spending time with her family. She is the youngest of five siblings, including her twin brother, and they all live in Michigan! In her off time, you can find her with a latte in hand at a local coffee shop or soaking up the sun on a beautiful Michigan summer day.
