Zee holds a Bachelor of Science degree in meteorology, and is an AMS Certified Broadcast Meteorologist.
Zee debuted as a weekend meteorologist for GMA on November 12, 2011. She held the position of meteorologist at NBC station WMAQ in Chicago from 2006-2011, and was the weather anchor for the weekend edition of GMA from 2011-2013. She occasionally appears on other ABC programming such as Nightline, and has also been a guest with Reed Timmer's TornadoVideos.Net (TVN) team on Discovery's Storm Chasers, Season Four.
In August 2013, Zee became engaged to WNBC-TV New York personality, Ben Aaron.
