- VIVA CANAL is very happy with Beatriz
- TV Host for the national syndicated TV show "Enfoque Musical".
- Not long after, Univision offered her a job as a TV Weather Anchor/ Entertainment Reporter.
- She was chosen as the first Spanish-language spokesperson for NOAA Weather Radio.
- Then, a Telemundo's affiliate (owned by Clear Channel) called her to be their main TV News Anchor/Reporter in California.
- Only one year later, Beatriz received an offer from Univision/Telefutura Network in Miami to be TV Anchor/ Reporter.
- As a professional skydiver, former military and dance instructor, she was able to co-produce and cover great stories for "Primer Impacto".
- Her versatility and vast experience in the industry led her to achieve the position of Los Angeles Bureau Manager for Mega TV, where she also produced and delivered stories as the L.A. correspondent for one of the hottest entertainment magazines in the country.
- In 2013, Beatriz achieved the position of International TV Correspondent for one important TV channel, allowing her to become more involved in social projects.
- But in 2014 one of her biggest dreams came true: she became the main News Anchor for Noticias Telemundo Las Vegas/ NBC Universal.
- Her passion for business, and her TV broadcasting career has made of Beatriz a successful woman with a great sensitivity and commitment with the society, but specially with the Hispanic community’s needs.
