Hey there, I’m Kristin Sanchez, a working mom, journalist, and on-air personality here in sunny South Florida!
And let me tell you, it’s been quite the journey balancing it all while raising a family and pursuing my passions. But if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that hard work and determination can take you far.
My parents were small business owners on Long Island, and they instilled in me the importance of working hard and never giving up on my dreams. I took their advice to heart and graduated from Florida Southern College with a degree in Broadcast, Print, and Online Media, plus a double minor in Spanish and Business – all in just three years!
I’ve always had a love for learning and storytelling, which led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Public Relations at the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communication. My passion for journalism started at a young age, and I’ve been informing and giving a voice to others ever since.
But let’s not forget about my life outside of work.
I’m a family girl through and through, and I absolutely cherish spending time with my loved ones. And fun fact, I actually met my husband through a set-up by our siblings! After a long-distance relationship, we’re now happy to call South Florida home.
My most recent role as a mother has been my greatest accomplishment yet. Balancing work and motherhood can be tough, but I wake up at the crack of dawn to deliver the latest news as the morning traffic reporter for NBC Miami. And that’s not all – you can also find me anchoring the morning news and hosting one of South Florida’s hottest lifestyle and entertainment shows!
When I’m not at work or at home, I love giving back to my community by attending various charity events and galas.
I believe that it’s important to use your platform for good, and I try my best to make a positive impact wherever I go. I’ve come to realize that with my busy schedule, taking care of myself is not just a luxury, but a necessity. Self-care has become my life’s oasis amidst back-to-back appointments and endless to-do lists. So, I make it a priority to carve out time for the things that recharge me, like working out, practicing yoga, getting my hair and facial done, and indulging my love for travel. Exploring new places is my ultimate self-care therapy, and every year, I make it a point to visit somewhere I’ve never been before, be it a new city, state, or country. After all, taking care of myself is the best way to show up for the people and the things that matter most in my life.
To all the working moms out there, I just want to say that you can do it too!
It’s not always easy, but by staying true to yourself and your goals, you can achieve anything. My story is proof that with hard work, determination, and a passion for what you do, the sky’s the limit. So go out there and show the world what you’re made of!
