San Antonio TV news favorite Isis Romero celebrates master’s degree from Arizona State University

After announcing she’ll be joining the team over at KENS 5, veteran San Antonio TV journalist Isis Romero is adding another title to her resume, literally. On Wednesday, May 11, Romero announced in a Facebook post that she graduated with her master’s degree from Arizona State University’s prestigious Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication with a perfect 4.0 GPA.

“Going back to school has always been a dream of mine,” she writes in her post. “During the pandemic, I decided to go for it.”

She ended her post with words of encouragement for folks who have been contemplating about taking risks in life or that next step to achieve success.

“It’s never too late to learn something new, reach your dreams, and keep pushing forward!”

Romero recently announced she’d be the new face and main anchor of KENS 5’s 6 and 10 p.m. newscasts. This comes after her departure from KSAT 12 in July 2021 after more than a decade with San Antonio’s ABC affiliate. Now, she is preparing to rejoin the airwaves with a new team.
