Carel Lajara

Hi! My name is Carel and I’m here to guide you through breaking news, top headlines, and current events from around the world. 

I grew up in Miami and have worked in various news markets, including Gainesville, Fla., Denver and Colorado Springs. I’ve always been very curious, which lead me to pursue a career in journalism while studying at the University of Florida. 

I’m a first-generation Latina in the U.S. My mom is from Nicaragua and my dad is from Puerto Rico. I also speak three languages: English, Spanish, and Portuguese. 

I truly believe that communication is key to uniting people from all walks of life and feel privileged to help facilitate those conversations through my role here at LiveNOW from FOX. I’m here to help tell your story. Thank you for trusting me and I look forward to gaining a better understanding of our world with your help.
