Career

After graduation, Faris held several communications-related jobs including an operations position at Mills/James Productions in Columbus, Ohio.

Paula filled in for David Muir on ABC World News on Sunday, February 24, 2013.

On July 18, 2014, ABC News announced the promotion of Faris to weekend co-anchor of Good Morning America, following the departure of Bianna Golodryga, who moved to Yahoo! News.
