Lourdes Del Rio is a correspondent for Noticiero Univision.^[1][2]

Del Rio earned a bachelor's degree in public communication from the University of Puerto Rico, graduating Magna cum laude in 1986.

In 1991 she had to move to Miami for family reasons and there she studied Electronic Journalism at Barry University.^[3]

For 18 years Del Rio has worked with Univision where she serves as a correspondent for the national newscast in Miami, covering different news events such as the presidential elections, the terrorist attacks of September 11, and more recently the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting.^[5]

She was also the only journalist who was able to broadcast live, in Spanish, the devastation left by the historic Hurricane Katrina.^[6] During the last 25 years, Del Río has extensively reported on the migration crisis inside and outside the United States, especially in the Caribbean.

On several occasions she has thrown herself into the sea with the coast guard, both in the Straits of Florida, to report on the stories of Cuban rafters, and in the dangerous Mona Passage, where thousands of Dominicans and Haitians attempt passing through to reach the United States.

She is married to Juan F. Ramirez Ferrer.^[8][9]
