After graduating from Liberty University in 1993 with a degree in Business Management, magna cum laude,[9] Bream returned to Tallahassee and attended law school at Florida State University.

While at WRC-TV, Bream met Brit Hume, who was the managing editor of the Fox News Channel's Washington bureau. With his encouragement, she submitted audition tapes to Fox News.[7] Bream joined the Fox News Channel in November 2007, and was based in the network's Washington, D.C. bureau.[8] She then became the anchor/host of Fox News @ Night.[6]
