She previously served as news anchor on Citytv Toronto's Breakfast Television from 2005 to 2008, and occasionally filled in for Dina Pugliese as co-host of the program during that time.[2] In 2024, Citytv announced the cancellation of CityLine and reassigned Moore back to Breakfast Television, where she will host a new hour of lifestyle features beginning in September.[1]

Growing up in Richmond Hill, Ontario, she went to Langstaff Secondary School.[3] Moore then earned a bachelor's degree in political science at McGill University; her initial career goal was to be a lawyer, but she developed an interest in journalism while volunteering at the campus radio station CKUT-FM.[4] She then completed a masters in journalism at the University of Western Ontario.

She began her career in journalism as a videographer for CBC Television, then worked for the now-defunct Toronto television station CKXT-TV before joining Citytv.[4] She became host of CityLine in 2008, after Marilyn Denis left the show to work for Bell Media.[5]

In January 2023, she was named the winner of the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television's Changemaker Award at the 11th Canadian Screen Awards.[6]

She is married to Lio Perron, and has two children, Sidney and Eva.[7]
