While in Boston, Hasbrouck was honored by the Boston Business Journal and named to its "Top 40 under 40" list. The award is designed to recognize Greater Boston's next generation of successful leaders who are under 40 years old. Honorees are chosen based on their career accomplishments and their involvement in the community.
Previously, Hasbrouck was the morning and moon anchor for WFSB-TV (CBS) in Hartford, Connecticut, where she was also the medical reporter. Before that, she held anchor positions at WITI-TV (FOX) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and WTGS/WJCL-TV (FOX/ABC) in Savannah, Georgia.

She received her Masters of Science in Journalism from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. She was inducted into Northwestern University's "Council of 100," a group of the institution's top female graduates.
Hasbrouck is also a graduate of St. Ignatius College Prep in Chicago, where she was on the tennis and track teams, and active in musical theater and captain of the cheerleading team. She was also a young voice student at Merit School of Music and Sherwood Conservatory of Music in Chicago.
Hasbrouck is an accomplished performer, having studied opera for nine years, and she enjoys fine arts almost as much as she enjoys community service.
