a DECADE IN NEWS
THE MOST VERSATILE OF THE STATION, ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL MANAGER AT UNIVISION 41
In 2013, I took a brief internship at Univision and in 2014 I graduated from The University of the Incarnate Word with a B.A. in Bilingual Communications.
Once at Univision in 2015, my duties were mostly helping the production team, but KWEX allowed me to learn many aspects of how a TV station runs, including participate in news from photographer, editor and technical director.
Intern 2013
10 years later
I’ve interviewed politicians, artists, athletes; covered breaking and hard news, including local and state elections, covid-19 stories, one of the first media arrivals hours at Uvalde, immigration stories, New Year, collaborations with network, etc.
I also produced entertainment shows and specials,
wrote articles for social media, served as mentor for interns, coached business owners for TV, helped organize community events with clients, music bands, etc.
