The journey into journalism was a difficult path but worth it
For Karyn Pugliese, a career steeped in a deep understanding of the intricacies of the news industry combined with a relentless drive for excellence, didn’t happen overnight.
“When I was a teenager I was a bit of a hot mess,” she said. “I gave my parents a hard time and ended up dropping out of school.”
Pugliese dropped out twice before enrolling in an alternative school, where she was successful and completed her high school education.
She has done a lot since then.
