Early life

Pilgrim was born in Seoul, South Korea to a Korean mother and a white American father. Growing up, she mentioned “There weren't that many half-Asian women on television when I was a little girl. I grew up in a town where everybody looked so very different from me, so for me seeing those women on TV, it wasn't just, 'Oh, I can do that job,' but, 'Oh, women like me exist in other places than where I live”.[4]

Career

After attended the University of Florida, Pilgrim worked at television stations in Bluefield, West Virginia, Columbia, South Carolina, and Charlotte, North Carolina.[5] She was later an anchor/reporter at WXIN-TV in Indianapolis, Indiana, before moving on to WPVI-TV in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In January 2016, she joined ABC News. In 2023, she and DeMarco Morgan became co-anchors of GMA3: What You Need to Know.
