We don't usually share when a member of the Extol Team takes time off — but this is a special case: Extol Lead Videographer Todd Prinz is taking a brief hiatus to work his 23rd WHAS Crusade for Children, and we couldn't be prouder!

You can join Todd and the many people in our community who support the Crusade, which is in its 73rd year, by visiting whascrusade.org this weekend.

The WHAS Crusade for Children makes life better for children with identified health care, educational, and emotional wellness needs by inspiring generosity with our community partners.

• 100% of each donation helps children with identified needs.
• Millions of children in Kentucky and Southern Indiana have been helped by the Crusade since 1954.
• The Crusade receives an average of 200 grant requests annually, with requested amounts exceeding our annual funds raised.

✨ Meet the Team Tuesday ✨

This week, we’re spotlighting our own Christina Sanjuan!

Christina is part of the team at Extol Media and serves as a meteorologist for Extol Weather, where she helps keep our community informed with local forecasts, storm coverage, and weather updates. You can also catch her alongside Angie and Ben Mondays at 9 AM on Extol Unfiltered!

She’s been a meteorologist for nearly a decade after graduating from University of Louisville with a degree in Atmospheric Science. Her career has taken her from Louisville to Mobile, Kansas City, and Colorado Springs before returning back home to Southern Indiana in 2022.

Born and raised in Columbus, IN, Christina now lives locally in Floyd County with her two kids, ages 6 and 8, and her dog, Chicken. 🐶

When she’s not tracking storms or creating forecasts, Christina loves spending time with her family and being actively involved in the Southern Indiana community she cares so much about.

And there’s even more exciting news ahead 👀
Christina will soon be launching her own daily weather show with Extol Weather — details coming soon!

We’re lucky to have her passion, experience, and love for local storytelling on our team. 💙
