I can be your 'Unsung' hero, baby

Insights and Opinions
Written By Gabe Trujillo

This June, I had the honor of being a recipient of TEGNA’s Unsung Hero Award. The company each year highlights and honors exemplary employees from stations across the company.

My boss nominated me this year and the committee selected me as one of the honorees.

When I heard the news, I was honored and humbled to be considered. My nomination is definitely a team effort. From my incredible co-workers to my amazing family and friends, my success is only possible with their help.

As a person with a disability, inclusion in the workplace is an important goal for me and 12 News has given me the accommodations and opportunities to succeed a thrive in the newsroom.
