She earned her B.A. degree in journalism from the University of Georgia. She worked in Georgia and Tennessee. In 1987, she moved to ABC's Orlando, Florida affiliate, where she became a bureau chief, co-anchoring the weekend news, and serving as the station's field anchor at NASA during shuttle launches. In 1990, Roberts began working for NBC News as a general assignment reporter. Two years later, she went to Barcelona to cover the Summer Olympics, winning a Sports Emmy. Roberts became a reporter for NBC's news magazine Dateline. Staying on Dateline for three years, she moved to the show's ABC rival, 20/20. She reported on a variety of topics there.
