Christina Lopez
Christina earned her master's degree in Journalism from the University of California at Berkeley in 2012. Shortly after graduation, she accepted a position as an ABC News Fellow in New York City. The year-long program offered Christina a unique tour of duty inside one of the industry's leading news organizations, where she rotated between various programs within the news division. She began as an overnight producer for Good Morning America. She wrote 120 articles as a digital reporter for ABC News Digital -- earning her first Edward R. Murrow award for her coverage of volunteers rebuilding a neighborhood in Far Rockaway in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. Her time as a fellow concluded when she produced long-form stories for both 20/20, including the week-long manhunt for the Boston Bomber and reports for Nightline.
Soon after the fellowship program was through, Christina was offered a full-time staff position with 20/20 as an Associate Producer. It was a full circle moment for the small-town girl from the San Joaquin Valley because she had grown up watching the veteran news program with her family.
Christina has worked as a reporter, anchor, and producer in local and network television news. Her career has also included work with NBC Nightly News in New York. Her work has been featured in The San Francisco Chronicle, The San Diego Union-Tribune, ABC News and NBC News. Christina earned her Bachelor of Arts in Broadcast Journalism from Point Loma Nazarene University.
When she's not breaking news, Christina enjoys spending quality time with her incredible husband, José, and their two children, Andres and Lourdes.
