"The Career Stories Podcast" host Natalie Brunell is also an SoCal-based freelance correspondent who most recently contributed to ABC News. Her story is fascinating! She was just five-years-old when her family moved from Poland to Chicago. She talks about how watching the news helped her parents learn English, and inspired her to become a journalist. Natalie's super ambitious. She attended Pepperdine University in Malibu, and helped create the Italian major! And if a double major in journalism and Italian wasn't enough, Natalie got her masters degree from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern. After a fellowship at CNN, she worked at KESQ in Palm Springs, KCRA in Sacramento, then joined ABC News as a national correspondent based in Los Angeles. She's also an adjunct professor at USC's Annenberg School. And I pry out of Natalie one of the funniest dating stories ever! Enjoy this fun, insightful, inspiring episode!
