Merijoel Duran

I am a 4 time Emmy Award winner and a recipient of the prestigious Edward R. Murrow. I have been in the communication field for more than 20 years, I am a News Anchor/Reporter for the biggest Hispanic T.V. station in the United States. For 10 years I have been volunteering for the American Cancer Society, MS Society, and I also mentor elementary and high school students and their parents.

Statistics show that 2 million adults return to school every year and I am one of them. It's not easy and there are lots of challenges; kids, full time job, and other responsibilities. I am the mother of 3 kids a 23 year old daughter who is graduating from college in May ( I AM SO PROUD!), a 17 year old son who is a junior in high school, and a foster mom to my 11 year old nephew.
