Deena Centofanti was born on 4th October 1965 and spent her childhood in a Norman Rockwell-like town, Hudson, Ohio.

Her mother was compassionate, and her father taught her values by telling her different stories and moral values.
She was in 8th grade when she moved from her birthplace to a suburb of Cincinnati. She shared her childhood with her younger brother, who was born with special needs. Throughout her childhood, she had to spend her days on a tightrope, trying to balance between the roles of elder and proud sister and quietly handling the teen role as well.
After completing high school, she went to Miami (of Ohio) University to receive her favorite subject degree, Broadcast Journalism. After completing her school and University degree, Deena Centofanti began working professionally with WSYX in Columbus, Ohio.

Whatever it was, she says that it was the period of job, the period to learn, and the period to experience things and share stories. She has realized the things with her friends over the channel though they all were different. She gives her thanks to two things, the viewers of Fox 2 News and the family of Fox 2 News.
