Abstract and Biography
Marcella
joined News 8 in March 2004, bringing a wealth of experience and professionalism
as Weekend Anchor of News 8 at 5PM, 6:30 PM and 11PM.
She is the Consumer Reporter, and in her weekly Adopt 8 segments, she profiles
children in San Diego County who are waiting to find a permanent home. Marcella
says, "We feature many older children who are harder to place-- kids who
are 12, sometimes 16 years old." She says someone once remarked,
"They're almost out of the system," to which she replied, "A
child's need for a mom or dad doesn't stop at the age of eighteen. These kids
need love and guidance through the college years, young adult life, and
beyond." Marcella says the most rewarding part of her job is receiving the
news that a child has found a Forever Family. She says, "Children's lives
are forever changed through adoption. It is humbling to play a small role in
matching children with parents through our Adopt 8 stories."
Her
career as a broadcaster was almost trumped by her business ambition. A
Detroit native, she graduated from The University of Michigan Business
School in Ann Arbor. Against her better financial judgment, she decided to
take a gamble and pursue her interest in journalism, earning $5 an hour as
a videographer/reporter at WLNS-TV in Lansing, MI. Next, she moved to WBNS-TV
in Columbus, Ohio, where she scored her first Emmy award at the young age
of 23.
Making the jump to KCNC-TV in Denver, Colorado, Marcella worked as a
general assignment reporter in the Mile High City. But soon her hometown
came calling, leading Marcella back to Detroit and WDIV-TV. Six years and
two more Emmy awards later, San Diego came calling, and Marcella couldn't
resist the sun and surf.
Among her most memorable experiences in TV news, Marcella recalls
traveling to Jordan for a cultural exchange assignment following the
September 11th attacks. "It was an incredible experience to not only
learn about the Middle Eastern culture, but to educate and enlighten
viewers by helping to bridge the cultural gap during a volatile and
extremely sensitive time," she says.
Marcella is a supporter of numerous organizations in San Diego, including
ASIA: The Journal of Culture & Commerce and the Union of Pan Asian
Communities (UPAC). She also dedicates time to mentor high school and
college students. When she's not at work or volunteering in the community,
Marcella and her husband Tony are busy with their twins, exploring parks,
beaches and the beautiful landscape of San Diego.
No
pre-clinic this month to allow for networking with APICS and CSPE.
