I was born and raised in Old Bridge, N.J. to Cuban-immigrant parents. Their work ethic and drive to succeed has inspired me to blaze my own trail.
I became interested in television news and journalism at a young age, watching Katie Couric and Ann Curry every morning while getting ready for school and reading the paper with my father many Sundays.
I received my B.A. in Journalism after just three years at the University of Arizona (Go Wildcats!).

Most of my career has been spent here in the Sun City, and I wouldn't change that for the world.

I came to El Paso in 2007, as a reporter at our sister station, KTSM-TV. I moved up the ranks to become Weekend Anchor, before finally joining KDBC-TV Local 4 News as our Evening Anchor in 2010.

Before my arrival here, I had my start in broadcast journalism at KGUN-TV in Tucson, Ariz. as an associate producer. I then worked at KJCT-TV in Grand Junction, Colo. As the Weekend Anchor, and returned to Tucson to freelance as a reporter for Fox affiliate KMSB-TV.

While reporting here, I've earned several awards. I received a Lone Star Emmy award in 2009. I followed Ignacio Ramos on his first day of freedom from prison and house arrest. He is the former Border Patrol agent whose sentence for shooting a smuggler was commuted by former President George W. Bush.

What is your favorite type of story to report?
We report so often on what's wrong in our community, that when a truly inspirational person or group comes along, I jump at the chance to feature them. I truly believe it takes just one person to make a difference. If telling their story has had any impact in the lives of our viewers, I've had a great day.

What do you do in your time off?
I love to go dancing, play Scrabble, and spend quality time with my husband and our dog and cat, Harley and Velcro.
