Sara Welch ‘90 Reporter at KTLA, Political Science
Today’s episode is a very special one for me. Sara Welch ‘90 Reporter at KTLA joins the show to talk about her career journey. The reason this episode is so special is that it’s just as much about the UVM community as it is her story of moving from smaller TV markets to a large one in Los Angeles. In preparing for our interview, Sara and I also discovered that we lived in the same apartment on Buell Street just some years apart. If there were ever a sign from the universe that this podcast is a good idea, I’d have to think this sign is it. And not just that, Sara and her husband visited that apartment while I was living there! UVM alumni are full of small-world stories like this one, and we talk about how our friend groups from UVM are still influential in our lives. We also talk about Sara’s internships that helped her develop a career in broadcast journalism. She credits her success to WCAX and it’s fascinating to hear her story about taking leaps of faith to ultimately end up in LA.
