She graduated on the Dean’s List with B.S. degrees in Communications and Psychology from the University of Miami. Her love for broadcast journalism began after working for the university’s award-winning station, UMTV, as a lifestyle anchor and reporter.

After graduating, she produced several newscasts at WSVN, a FOX affiliate in Miami. She also served as a freelance, bilingual reporter covering local stories in her community. Adding to her writing experience, she also worked for a prestigious real estate company where she covered stories for a local newspaper about the South Florida market.
Luli comes from both Cuban and Puerto Rican roots.
