Marcela Garcia

Features Producer/Reporter

Marcela Garcia jumped on board and  joined the KTTZ-TV family in February 2011. You can see her on Channel 5's new local shows such as Keeping It Local and Locally Owned which highlight local people, organizations, and businesses in Lubbock and the surrounding south plains region. Also, look for her on Inside Texas Tech with Chancellor Kent Hance where she helps report all things in the Texas Tech University System.

Marcela graduated from Eastern New Mexico University in Portales with a Bachelor’s of Science in Communication. While there she had the opportunity to work for the PBS affiliate KENW’s News 3 New Mexico where she anchored, reported and produced both sports and news broadcasts. Marcela has six years under her belt, working in television for PBS affiliates, and looks forward to many more to come.

A Texas native, Marcela was born in El Paso, TX and since moving away has been anxiously waiting for the chance to move back to her home state.

When Marcela is not on air she loves playing sports competitively, enjoying outdoor activities like rock climbing and camping, and exploring the local culture that makes Lubbock such a great place to live.

Getting back into the groove of things

Happy New Year Channel 5 viewers! I hope all your holidays went well. I had the opportunity to spend my holiday with my entire immediate family in Albuquerque, NM. The trip went well except for getting stuck in Santa Rosa for about a day and a half due to that snow storm that hit right before Christmas. But, I survived and got to see my parents, 3 sisters, 2 brother-in-laws, and nieces and nephew. With 2012 here I’m looking forward to everything that the new year has to offer! I have to get back in the groove of things and hit the equipment hard to bring you more fun and local stories!

Premiere Night was a Success!

Last night couldn’t have gone any more smoothly! Right when I walked in (fashionably late that is) the twenties music was playing, the women were wearing feathered headbands and some men had on a twenties fedoras. The food was amazing! The dessert was delicious! And hats off to Paul Hunton for putting together our highlight reel! It was such a different experience watching it in the LHUCA’s movie theater.
