Reporter | WSCV -Telemundo 51

Nathalia Ortiz began her career as an intern at Univision network in Miami in 2000. She parlayed that into a steady position as production assistant for a national dance/ music show called “Caliente”; all while attending Florida International University.  There, she received a BS in Communications with a concentration in Broadcast Journalism.  She earned the “employee of the year” award after her first year in the company and eventually became one of the main producers for coordinating national and international productions.  Some of her earliest on-camera work includes reporting for several Univision network shows; among these the fast-paced teen magazine show, “Control” and a regular segment on “Caliente”.

In 2005 she became part of one of Univision’s Special Events department. There, Nathalia was entrusted with essential aspects of live events including Univision’s premiere award show, “Premio Lo Nuestro”, “Latin Grammys”, and “Premios Juventud”, for which she was part of the original production team. Nathalia decided to shift her focus completely to journalism in 2006. She became the weekend reporter for WLTV, Univision’s local station in Miami. There, she covered events such as President Bush’s visit to Miami and issues regarding Cuban political affairs, local crime and politics. She moved to New York City in late 2008 to report for News12 and shortly after joined NET (the Catholic cable channel of the Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens) as reporter and fill-in co-anchor of “Currents”.

In 2011 Nathalia created the Hispanic Media department for “De Sales Media”, the media company of the Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens. In this role, Nathalia lead the launch of Spanish language print and digital entities as part of an initiative to serve the Catholic Hispanic community in greater New York City. At the end of 2012  Nathalia joined Telemundo-Nueva York as co-anchor of the new morning show, “Buenos Días Nueva York”. There she co-hosts a live show on a daily basis covering topics including health, wellness, technology, cooking, politics and community affairs. Nathalia later served as a general assignment reporter for Telemundo 47’s morning newscast, “Primera Edicion”. Shortly after her daughter’s birth, Nathalia decided to return to her hometown, Miami, where she currently works as a reporter for WSCV, Telemundo 51. Besides journalism and TV production, her passions include ballet, fashion, wine-tasting and entrepreneurship.
