About Adalberto L.

I currently reside in South Texas, more specifically in the Rio Grande Valley. The area sits along the US/Mexico border along the Rio Grande River. I began my career in news when I was 18yrs. old at KGBT-TV, the CBS affiliate in Harlingen, TX. Within three months of my employment, I found myself covering the landfall of Hurricane Dolly in the area as also began to cover "splashdowns" which a term coined for when drug smugglers would drive their vehicles into the Rio Grande River in order to save their drug loads from being confiscated by US law enforcement agencies. In 2010 I switched stations and began working at Entravision - McAllen which owns the Univision & Fox affiliates in the area. There I have been able to shoot and edit stories that have made their onto the "top story" slot of 'Primer Impacto' and 'Noticiero Univision'. Most recently I collaborated in acquiring footage and interviews for the Frontline/Univision documentary 'Violacion de Un Sueño'.
