Digital Content Specialist

Hello, I'm Ninfa Saavedra, a proud Houston native and passionate news junkie. From as early as I can remember, I've aspired to work in television news—probably before I could walk, I had a book in my hand. My love for writing and reading has only deepened over the years. Houston is not just my hometown; it's where I've launched and continue to nurture my career. When I'm not immersed in writing or lost in a good book, you'll likely find me traveling or discovering new restaurants.
