AUSTIN, Texas — Isabella Basco joined the KVUE team in January 2023 after four snowy, cold years in the Midwest. She started her career as a reporter in Rochester, Minnesota, and moved to Omaha, Nebraska, two years later. But she's a Texan at heart.
She was born in Galveston, Texas, but her family later settled down in Memphis, Tennessee. To her, returning to the Lone Star State is a full-circle story!
Since childhood, Isabella has always dreamed of becoming a journalist, so she learned the craft by studying for her undergraduate degree in communication and Spanish at Wake Forest University. She also has a master's in journalism from Georgetown University.
Isabella is bilingual in English and Spanish and loves to shed light on diverse people and communities. A strong believer in connecting with and helping others, she also loves to volunteer, sing, play piano, cook and bake for her loved ones.
