A graduate of British Columbia Institute of Technology's broadcast journalism program in 1990,[1] she began her television career on WBNX in Cleveland, Ohio, appearing on a weekly current affairs program (1990-1998). She then returned to British Columbia, where she worked as the traffic and weather reporter on VTVs Breakfast before moving to Global Television's BCTV Morning Show as a fill-in traffic reporter. Moving away from live television, she hosted Crash Test Mommy on the Life Network. In 2005 she became co-host of BCTVs Driving Television, a weekly survey of automotive industry news for which she test drove new cars on a regular basis. In April of 2007, Midcap became the weather and traffic anchor for the WGCL-TV Better Mornings morning show in Atlanta, Georgia.
