About Mariana Atencio

Hi! ¡Hola! I’m Mariana.

For over a decade, I was the face you saw reporting the news for NBC & Univision. I spent my life parachuting into places like Haiti, Hong Kong, and the Syrian border, interviewing everyone from Pope Francis to the King of Spain.

On paper, I was living the dream.
