JOURNALIST & HOST
Hey!
I'm Giselle... a journalist, host, and master's student at The University of Alabama. When I'm not reporting on local news or creating entertainment content, you can probably find me rewatching my favorite films with a Diet Coke in hand (this isn't an ad, but it should be). For business inquiries, please feel free to contact me via email or get in touch on social media.
My Story
I grew up in a small town in northwest Indiana, and from as early as I can remember, I've loved two things: writing and being on camera. Maria Menounos was my idol. I could spend hours watching her on the big screen before a movie, talking about the latest entertainment news. In grade school, I started putting together magazines about my favorite celebrities and handing them out to my classmates at recess. I joined the newspaper during my sophomore year of high school and quickly realized my passion for storytelling, eventually becoming a sports and music editor. So, when I started contemplating my college major and my parents suggested journalism, it was a no-brainer.
While studying at The University of Alabama, I searched for a more specific way to apply my interests. The answer came during a broadcast performance class my second year. Part of our grade included reporter practice at WVUA 23, a local news station that happened to be in the legendary Bryant-Denny Football Stadium. It was one of those "aha" moments. As soon as I entered the studio and stood in front of the cameras, I knew broadcasting was it for me.
The next semester, I began my internship at WVUA 23 as an editing intern and worked my way up to on-air reporting. After finishing my undergraduate degree, I accepted my dream internship with NBC 4 in Los Angeles. I spent the Summer of 2023 on the Universal Studios lot learning from top anchors and reporters in the industry and getting hands-on experience at the Today in LA show. Fall of 2023, I returned to Tuscaloosa to complete my graduate degree and become WVUA 23's weekend anchor. Be on the lookout for a post-grad job announcement, coming soon!
