Mariela Patron
Multimedia Journalist
I am the current digital video producer at NBC4 Washington and Telemundo Washington.
I am dedicated to video, front-end coding and digging into data sets to find a story.
I previously worked at the The Wall Street Journal
and at MSNBC as an NBC News Group Summer Fellow.
I graduated from the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism in 2017, and
I graduated summa cum laude from the University of La Verne with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism in 2015.
Through multimedia platforms, I want to expand news consumption in the English and Spanish markets.
I am a first generation Mexican American, Los Angeles native and an NAHJ member.
