Scott began her professional career as traffic manager for KIRO-TV and radio in her hometown of Seattle, before becoming an on-air reporter, writer, film editor and documentary producer for the station. In 1965, she was hired by Boston CBS affiliate WBZ, spending many years as both an anchor and general assignment reporter. She co-anchored WBZ's Channel 4 News at Noon for 14 years, its 5:30 News for five years and became part of its first female anchor team there in 1977, with Gail Harris. She stayed behind the anchor's desk until the mid-1980s, returning to the field as a reporter, where she was assigned to cover the Massachusetts State House. She left her mark in the minds of a generation of New Englanders in the '80s and '90s, braving the elements covering storms, while appearing in her signature wool cap. Scott was elected to the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists National Board in 1981 and became president of the union in 1993, after serving as national first vice president and president of the Boston Local. She led AFTRA through its first attempted merger with Screen Actors Guild in 1998/99, and through numerous major contract negotiations, including the AFTRA Network Television and Sound Recordings codes. In 1997, during her term as national president, President Bill Clinton appointed her to the Advisory Committee on Public Interest Obligations of Digital Television Broadcasters. For her devoted service to the union, Scott was awarded AFTRA's George Heller Memorial Award. After leaving office in 2001, Scott remained in board service, serving again as a national vice president. She also served as the union co-chair to the AFTRA Health and Retirement Funds Board of Trustees and as the president of the AFTRA Foundation. Scott was a member of the Group for One Union of SAG and AFTRA leaders who spearheaded the 2012 merger effort and co-led a merger workgroup, one of only 10 elected leaders to do so.
