Three years ago when I started working in Salisbury, MD for my first reporting job, winning an award for my work was something I thought was out my reach. Whenever “award season” came around I would feel limited to what I could see myself winning because I would think “there’s probably someone better running”. Until I realized I was the only one doubting myself. At the start of 2021 I promised to never doubt myself again and start to believe in me. By making that switch of mentality, a lot of driving around alone to stories across the Delmarva peninsula, a lot of solo reporting, a lot of where’s your camera man?, anchoring and producing shows in two languages, this is the direct result. - Best TV News Anchor 🥇 - Best TV News Reporter 🥈 (2nd) - Outstanding Serious Feature 🥇 - Outstanding Light Feature 🥇 - Enterprise Reporting (2nd) 🥈 - Outstanding Specialty Reporting (2nd) 🥈 - Outstanding News Series 🥇 Shoutout to mom and dad for raising me in a Spanish-speaking household 🇩🇴(and my curiosity as a child to want to read and write Spanish). This has allowed me to dominate two languages and this has been key in my career. Being a bilingual journalist is very hard but extremely rewarding. #SiSePuede #IfIDidItYouCanToo #JustAKidFromReading #Dominicana #ApAwards #CAPBA #AP “For I know the plans I have for you,” Jeremiah 29:11
