Hello! My name is Jessica Rivera super excited to meet everyone.  I was born and raised in Garland, Texas I recently graduated from UNT Denton with my Bachelors in Converged Broadcast Media with a minor in Spanish.  I am a first-generation college graduate in my family.  I’ve been involved in the news for about 8 years.  I was in the TV production magnet in high school, I was very involved in the student newscast.  I also volunteered at the UNT news station (NTTV) while I was over there, I got experience as a reporter, anchor, producer, and production assistant.  I did a specials problem class at UNT where I got to work alongside reporters at Univision in Dallas and I also got to intern at KTEN News in Denison.  In my free time, I host a podcast with a couple of friends and spend time with my family and my dog Hachi.  I enjoy getting to know more from everyone.
