I Felt it was Time to Pursue a Different Career Direction
KENS (San Antonio) Traffic Anchor Alanna Sarabia signed off from the Tegna station on Friday.
She’s not just leaving the station, she’s leaving ATV news altogether.
"I adore the people that make up KENS 5, so that obviously made this decision a poignant one. These are the same people that supported my decision to continue growing on a professional level outside of television," Sarabia said. "I feel I had the chance to do everything I wanted in the broadcast business, to which I'm grateful, but I felt it was time to pursue a different career direction."
She’s headed back to school…sort of. "Throughout my years in the TV business, I was constantly heading back to my alma mater, Texas State University, to speak on mass communication panels — joined a few boards, including the Texas State Alumni Association — and to simply enjoy a game," she says. "Little did I know, these experiences were quietly charting the course for my transition into higher education. I recently joined the University Advancement team at Texas State. I'm looking forward to helping current students the same way the university supported me."
Of course, there was cake, there’s always cake.
