Welcome Carly Steel!

The multi-talented entertainment journalist is joining the Entertainment Tonight team as a full-time correspondent, and she's bringing with her an impressive background in celebrity news reportage and high-profile interviews, as well as a tenacious spirit.

As Steel begins her tenure as an official ET correspondent, here are eight things you should know about her, in her own words.

1. She's Got a Great Work Ethic

"I think my friends would describe me as fun, adventurous and very hard-working."

2. She Knows How to Handle Pressure

"My first job was at Vogue magazine. I was an assistant to the managing editor so I was like [Anne Hathaway’s character] in The Devil Wears Prada."

3. She's From Across the Pond

"I'm Scottish, born and raised. I'm not a fake Brit. I'm like the reverse Madonna, I'm a faux-merican. My Scottish accent comes out when I'm tired or when I'm grumpy or if I've had a lot of wine. Or all of the above."

8. She's Got Some Serious Legal Cred

"If I wasn't in this industry I would be a lawyer, because I have a law degree. So I'd be a badass barrister, like Amal Clooney."
