McHenry was born in New Jersey but grew up and attended high school in Florida.
She was a standout high school soccer player with aspirations of playing on the U.S. women’s national team — her high school teammate Ashlyn Harris made the USWNT as a goalkeeper.
McHenry went to Stetson University and played as a midfielder on the school’s soccer team.
She also worked as a model in college, working for the Wilhelmina Models agency before receiving her master’s at Northwestern University in Journalism.
McHenry started working at ESPN in 2014. Before that, she spent time with ABC 7 News and News Channel 8 in Washington, D.C.
And in Sand Diego, covering the Padres.
Per the New York Post, she was suspended by ESPN in 2015 after a video of her yelling at a towing company employee surfaced, in which she said, “I’m in the news, sweetheart, I will f***ing sue this place,” she was later one of a number of employees let go during a series of budget cuts.
McHenry later tweeted about her previous demotion while at ESPN, that she “was demoted because I was white & I made too much. First to go.”
This tweet was later deleted.
McHenry joined Fox Nation in 2018, where she stayed for three years, during which she underwent surgery on a brain tumor in 2020.
Thankfully, she remains cancer free and celebrated a yearly anniversary on social media.
She currently has 389,000 followers on Instagram and 211,200 on Twitter.
McHenry works as the co-host of the Pump The Brakes podcast along with Ameshia Cross and as a host on Fox 5 D.C.
