Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Esposito attended San Jose State University and earned a degree in Broadcast Journalism. She worked as an anchor/reporter for SJSU’s Update News. She served as the Vice President for Radio-Television-Digital-News-Association (RTDNA).
Esposito also had the amazing opportunity to intern at the station she grew up watching, KTVU Channel 2 News in Oakland, California. At KTVU, Esposito shadowed Emmy-winning reporters.
Before becoming a reporter, Esposito worked as an Educational Leadership Consultant for Alpha Xi Delta Fraternity. As a professional consultant, she traveled to more than 15 states (mostly in the south east), and visited nearly 20 universities across the country. Several chapters were located in North Carolina and South Carolina. She loved the area and is excited to be back.
