Yasmine Lopez

Yasmine Lopez is a first generation Mexican/American born and raised in Tucson.

It was at Northern Arizona University where she found her passion for live television.

Working on a production crew for FoxSports Arizona on campus, it only took a simple "three, two, one, we're live!" to fall in love with live sports.

She joined KOLD back in 2014 as a part-time editor, left to see what the buzz was about in Phoenix at FOX 10 then shortly decided to come back with a bang in 2018. Although still the morning editor, she has taken a role as a AZ Weekend Reporter and the host of "Taste This Tucson," a segment that promotes the amazing food around the Old Pueblo.

She's looking forward to seeing what else she's capable of doing reporting for her hometown.
