Adriana Loya

Adriana Loya Adriana Loya is a Mexican-American seven-time Emmy® Awards-winning journalist and visual storyteller.

Adriana’s professional television career has led her to work with multiple media outlets and fill various news roles aside from reporting. She has filled in on the anchor desk while producing her own newscasts and edited her own stories, as well as presented short weather segments— positions she would often do all four at once. Adriana is fluent in Spanish and English, an active member of the Nati

As a journalist in Boston, Adriana was the first reporter to be live on the scene during the 2018 Merrimack Valley Gas Explosions in the whole market, as well as the first journalist to confirm and report on the death of Leonel Rondon, an 18-year-old man who tragically died after a chimney fell on a car he was in during the incident. She was also the only Spanish speaking reporter with a live report during David Ortiz’s arrival at Massachusetts General Hospital after he was critically injured from a gunshot wound in the Dominican Republic. Adriana’s work experience ranges from radio stations to modeling and walking on runways, to be a part of the exclusive social media team for the XLIX Super Bowl. She has also worked and collaborated with Azteca América, Univision Arizona, Univision Kansas, and CBS’s Kansas affiliate station. Adriana has served as a mentor and board adviser for Boston local non-profits and has played the guitar and vihuela for over 10 years. She was even at one point, a part of an all-female mariachi band.

After stepping away from my career in TV news, I had the opportunity to freelance on a series of deeply meaningful stories focused on the realities many people face while pursuing the so-called American dream.

These pieces explored the dangerous journeys, and the harsh truth that for many, the risk does not end upon reaching the U.S. Exploitation, scams, legal limbo, and even homelessness often follow, shaped by immigration status and shifting policies.

I’m incredibly grateful that this work was recognized with three Telly Awards, which honor excellence in video and television storytelling worldwide. One of those was a Gold Telly Award, a distinction that reflects the strength of the collective work behind these stories.

While the awards were announced back in May, my statuettes recently arrived, so I’m finally sharing this moment. Deeply grateful for the opportunity to help amplify these voices and proud of the work we created. 🤍✨

Looking at these photos (and those not included on here), I’m reminded how full 2025 really was.

Some really good moments, some really hard ones, and a lot of love in between.

Going into 2026 hoping for more time with my family, good health, loads of love, and a few adventures along the way.✨
