Biography:
Silvia Acevedo has always been interested in languages and word usage. She was raised speaking Spanish and spent many glorious years learning the syntax, intricacies, and poetry behind Spanish, English, and languages in general. Silvia had a passion for language throughout school, which was finally honed in a journalism class in college. She had to take an English prerequisite and chose an “Introduction to Journalism” class.
Silvia was hooked. She discovered, “I can write! I can report!” Whether she is any good at it or not is something only the reader (or viewer) can decide, but there you have it. Silvia had found what she wanted to do: tell stories.
Acevedo graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Madison with a triple major: Journalism (with a dual emphasis of news editorial and broadcast), Spanish, and Latin American / Iberian Studies.
Silvia then went into years of writing and presenting news for organizations such as WTMJ-TV, where she has returned several times to guest host The Morning Blend talk show and to provide news commentary, KTBC-TV, KRDO-TV, WISN-TV, WKOW-TV, WORT-FM, The Milwaukee Sentinel, and The Badger Herald.
