In terms of broadcasting, you have to make decisions about where you want to spend your time.

When I found out I got this job, I cried, of course - I'm a girly-girl - and then I called my dad, and he cried, too. On so many levels, this is a thrill for me.

I'm comfortable with my femininity, and I don't try to change what I look like just because I'm reporting on football at the end of the night.

So I plan to prepare thoroughly and have several outfits waiting in the wings in case of inclement weather.

I've always been the only girl in those environments. It's comfortable for me - I prefer it, actually.

I'm proud of being Hispanic.

I know I'll be under a spotlight, I know I'll be under the microscope.
