The Receptionist is Hired as Morning Anchor

WTMJ in Milwaukee has named Adriana Mendez the station’s new morning anchor.

I have to give Mendez props, as she literally started at the bottom and worked her way up.

“It’s been an emotional whirlwind, and as I am ready to embark on this new journey I can't help but reflect on those early days when I would drive from Kenosha to Milwaukee to work as a part-time receptionist at TMJ4,” Mendez said. “Back then, many people questioned why I would make a 50-minute trip just to work a few hours a day, however; deep down, I believed it would be the first stepping stone to something greater.”

Good for her and congratulations.
