Profile for Haley Hernandez
Haley Hernandez was born in Houston, TX and attended the University of Oklahoma. She has a degree in journalism and a minor in Spanish.
In college, Haley interned with CBS News in New York and upon graduation rushed back to the Big Apple to work for 60 Minutes. At 60 Minutes she worked on the 2008 presidential election coverage and received Emmy recognition for Saving Flight 1549, the story of Capt.
Sullenberger landing a plane in the Hudson River after a bird strike.
Before coming to WCBD, she spent a year working for NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams and Weekend Nightly News with Lester Holt. Haley is also a proud alumna of the NBC Page Program where she worked with multiple shows at NBC News.
After three years working at both CBS and NBC, the desire to return to the south and report her own stories on-air was too overwhelming to ignore. With all the food, events, politics and downright friendliest people in the nation, a job in Charleston is simply a dream come true for this reporter!
Haley is a social media connoisseur, speaks conversational Spanish, loves meeting new people and learning new things. So, don't be shy, send any story ideas or just fun suggestions of places to go and things to see to her e-mail or twitter (@HernandezHaley).
