Reporter Yona Gavino has joined CBS11 and currently is working the early morning news shift after arriving in May.
Gavino, who most recently spent three years at Milwaukee’s WTMJ-TV, replaces Arezow Doost, who resigned from CBS11 in February. Before that she worked as a “one-man-band bureau reporter” for WLUC-TV in Negaunee, Michigan after serving as a production assistant at WPMI-TV in Mobile, Alabama.
The Florida native has a broadcast journalism degree from the University of West Florida and is a member of the Asian American Journalists Association.
Her bio also says that Gavino “spent years as a competitive ballroom dancer and is a Krav Maga practitioner. Because of this, Yona can dance and fight! But her true joy is storytelling.”
