“Marielena is such a pleasure to work with. I was her producer for 2 years at WAVY-TV. She was easy-going, helpful, and always had my back. She is truly a team player and takes on so much responsibility with grace and poise. She was one of the hardest working people at WAVY. There were many days where she would anchor 2.5 hours of news, turn a story, write a web script, set up another story for the next day, and work on an upcoming special report. And I'm sure there was much more she was doing that I just didn't know about. She helped on the morning show for several weeks when the station was looking for a traffic reporter. She quickly learned the system and even helped train the new hire. She's a thoughtful and creative multimedia journalist. Any company would be lucky to have her!”
