When Cecilia isn’t looking for the next big story or forecasting the weather, she enjoys volunteering as a math and science tutor. She has also kept up with her musical roots by volunteering with McAllen High School’s marching band during the fall.
Cecilia grew up watching Channel 5 and is excited to be home contributing to the news team.
