“These past couple of years have been a dream come true. Getting to co anchor with Ernie Zuniga, a pillar in the community and a titan in journalism. He was also the partner I could always ask to help me figure out how to pronounce certain words, locations or names,” said Gomez. “It has been an exciting journey, I will always be thankful for the opportunity to return to my home state and be closer to my family during a time of so much uncertainty.”
