Meet Michaela Pereira

“As a broadcast journalists for over 30 years, I’ve interviewed everyone from world leaders and celebrities to kiddos missing their front teeth – and everyone in between. No matter who my guests are, I have and will always be driven by story.  Nothing is more fascinating to me than someone’s personal story, and when I share those stories with my viewers, points of connection are revealed – and it’s a privilege for me to help facilitate those connections. I can’t think of anything better!”
