When I was at AAJA in Atlanta I got the chance to meet Nina Lozano, who was a Reporter/Anchor in Las Vegas at the time.

Sh told me the story how she grew up in the Philippines and decided to move to the United States to work in TV news.

For many working in TV news, it is scary enough to move a few states over for your first job. Now imagine moving thousands of miles to a different country and you can see how scary that might be.

Nina has worked har and is now anchoring the news at KSBY in San Luis Obispo.

Yesterday, on Valentine’s Day, Nina made another big move.

She officially became a U.S. Citizen!

Congrats to Nina!
