Ann Lauricello
Ann comes to Tucson from Cheyenne where she last worked as a morning news anchor and reporter. In Wyoming, Ann worked as a jack of all trades – she even ran her own teleprompter! Ann has also worked in a top-twenty news room and brought her flair for the camera to a gig as a commercial host for a national outdoor camping retailer and to live news reports for MSNBC. After two years of gusty Wyoming winds, Ann packed her bags and headed South to get a famed Tucson tan.
Ann attended the University of Colorado at Boulder and graduated with Honors from the School of Journalism. Ann is originally from Colorado, but after vacations to Arizona, she knew she would eventually end up in the Grand Canyon state. Ann is thrilled to be a part of the Morning Blend and to get the chance to meet the folks who make Tucson tick.
Alex Miranda
Fast forward eight years, and Alex graduated from Emerson College in Boston with a Bachelor of Science in Broadcast Journalism, the award for Outstanding Television News Reporter and a résumé including The Today Show, CNBC and CNN.com.
Since then, he has hosted and reported for a weekly South Florida lifestyle talk show on Plum TV, discussing the latest in entertainment, fashion, finance, food and outdoor sports. In Portland, Maine, alongside a feisty miniature schnauzer, Alex hosted and wrote a miniseries on pet friendly travel in New England. And for Sirius Satellite Radio, he reported on LGBT issues in the region, conducting interviews and writing, voicing and editing stories for an audience of 15 million.
Alex is fired up to be living and working in Tucson, back in the heat, wearing flip flops and eating some of the best Mexican food in the country. He calls himself a people person and loves getting to know Tucsonans on The Morning Blend.
