After school, Fisher worked for
ABC-affiliate
KJCT-LP in
Grand Junction, Colorado and then ABC-affiliate
KATV in
Little Rock,
Arkansas, where she covered the
2008 presidential campaigns of both
Hillary Clinton and
Mike Huckabee. In 2009, she moved to Washington, D.C. where she worked as a reporter for
CBS-affiliate
WUSA-TV and freelance correspondent
ABC News/
ABC NewsOne. In 2015, she joined
Fox News as a general assignment reporter in its DC bureau, replacing
Molly Henneberg. A few days before Thanksgiving 2019, Fisher's bureau chief offered her the position of White House correspondent, though he could not inform her what the position was at the time as he was only permitted to say that it was a position she would want. Fisher had been planning to host a holiday celebration for guests, including family members in town for a visit, but was intrigued by the secrecy, and trusting her chief, accepted the assignment. The day before Thanksgiving, she was instructed to pack warm clothes, and meet a man in a
Washington, D.C. parking garage, whom she took to be a
Secret Service agent. From there, she traveled to
Joint Base Andrews, where she was required to have all of her electronic devices temporarily confiscated, before being flown to
West Palm Beach, Florida. There,
President Donald Trump boarded the plane back to Andrews, with Fisher the sole journalist on the plane. Back at Andrews, she and Trump boarded
Air Force One, and flew to Afghanistan, where Trump would meet with U.S. troops and that nation's president,
Ashraf Ghani, to discuss restarting negotiations with the Taliban. She did the same with President Trump's statements in December, when several Republican judges, as well as several Trump-nominated public servants, had rejected claims of election fraud. In early 2021 it was announced that Fisher would be leaving Fox News. After leaving Fox, Fisher joined
CNN in July 2021, where she serves as its Space & Defense correspondent. In 2010, Fisher won an
Emmy Award for her bi-weekly segments on heroes in the greater Washington community. Fisher also founded a documentary film company, Field Mouse Films, which made films for both news outlets and corporate clients. ==Personal life==
