Hi, I’m Coco!

I’m a junior at the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in advertising with a minor in journalism and media at the Moody College of Communications. My passion for broadcast journalism has been with me for as long as I can remember. Growing up, the camera was my creative outlet—whether I was in front of it or behind it, it was my way of expressing individuality. I was the kid who loved performing, whether singing for large crowds, playing roles like Maria and Marian the Librarian, leading choir groups, or even teaching a ukulele class in fifth grade! Entertaining and storytelling have been part of my DNA from a young age.

Arriving at UT Austin, I found my way back to storytelling through classes that re-ignited my passion for lifestyle and entertainment journalism. Discovering Texas Student Television felt like coming home; it made the dream I had as a young girl—being on TV—start to feel within reach. Over the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with some of the most talented people I know, pushing myself with 5 a.m. wake-ups and red carpet interviews. Broadcasting and videography have become my true passion, and I love every second of it.

I’m excited to keep exploring new opportunities in journalism and media, especially within broadcast television, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me. I hope you see that childhood spark shining through every piece I create and enjoy each story I share!
