Brisa Mendez to Exit KVAL-TV

Brisa Mendez has a double bachelor’s degree in journalism and Spanish studies from the University of Michigan. She also worked at campus media outlets and studied in Spain, France, and Italy.

Soon after college, the Seattle native got her first job at her hometown station, KOMO News, and later at Univision Seattle’s KUNS-TV. From there, she moved to Eugene, Oregon, in January 2021.

Mendez has been part of the KVAL-TV news team since then. Her weathercasts were also on Eugene, Oregon, and the local Fox affiliate.

In the short time she has been in Eugene, the local community has seen the weather anchor grow. She especially credits her mentors and colleagues at KVAL-TV for furthering her career.

However, Mendez is now ready to move to the next step of her career journey. She announced her departure from KVAL-TV on October 10.
