I’m an Emmy and Golden Mike award-winning bilingual TV reporter for Telemundo & NBC Bay Area covering some of the biggest news in town and in the nation –including the 2022-2023 floods, the Half Moon Bay mass shooting, Sen. Feinstein’s passing, the Cash App founder murder investigation, the historical 2024 elections, and more.

In 2023, I also investigated Oakland PD’s low homicide clearance rate over the last decade, where 50% of murders remain unsolved.

And in 2024, I was the first journalist to participate in the San Francisco FBI Citizens’ Academy for 9 weeks, later producing stories in English & Spanish about efforts tackling AI scams, and smash & grabs. I also had a chance to meet and profile one of the only bilingual, Latina Special Agents in the SF Bureau.

Nathalie, nice to meet you

I’m Nathalie with an ‘H’ –pronounced like Natalie –nice to meet you.

I grew up in Lima, Peru, a coastal city in South America more populous than NYC, and dubbed “The City of Kings” by the Spaniards.

My family relocated to Los Angeles when I was young. I later moved 90 miles north to attend UC Santa Barbara, where I graduated with a B.A in English, and a minor in Spanish, (or a degree in Spanglish, as the scholars call it).

My broadcast career began in college radio –at KCSB FM 91.9 I started out as Special Projects Reporter, often traveling up to San Francisco and Sacramento to cover UC Regents meetings, student protests, university workers’ strikes, and the governor’s budget. I later served as general assignment reporter, anchor, engineer, and Assistant News Director.

My TV debut came with Univision Costa Central. I wore many hats there, too –reporter, photographer, editor, and producer. I also served as the immigration beat reporter, delivering stories of most relevance to Univision’s Hispanic audience.

I later joined KCOY-TV, the CBS-affiliate in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, where I enjoyed the beach and good weather while telling stories I care about most –social justice, crime, shelter pups, and everything in between.

I moved to Fresno right at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, serving the Hispanic audience with the Univision station in town, and later crossed over to KSEE 24/CBS 47, waking up bright and early for 8-10 unscripted, interactive live hits across two hours of morning news for both stations.

Since late 2022, I now call the Bay Area home, where I’m grateful to continue reporting in English and Spanish –this time under the same roof with NBC & Telemundo.

When I’m not working, I’m either reading, catching up with friends, tanning at the beach, or doing marathons (binge-watching shows on Netflix, that is).

I love meeting new people, places, spaces and opportunities. Another day, another story. And somebody’s got to tell it.
