During a 25 year long career breaking news all over Texas, former television broadcast reporter Galaviz cultivated many ties with community and business leaders. Acting as both partner and friend to these organizations and leaders, she has smoothly transitioned years of broadcasting experience into a successful public relations and social media management career.

Formally a public face for San Antonio's KENS-TV, KSAT-TV and KMOL-TV (now WOAI-TV), Dallas-Fort Worth's KTVT-TV and Laredo's KLDO-TV and KVTV-TV, Galaviz now oversees the Public Relations and Social Media department of one of the city's most active and successful agencies. "My esd family is a group of creative and talented writers, web developers, graphic artists and a dynamic public relations and social media team," said Gina. "I am thrilled La Prensa and the Duran family gave me this honor."

Amelia Duran created The La Prensa Foundation sixteen years ago to assist students confronted with financial hardships to pursue their dreams of a higher education. Thus far, the foundation has raised more than $2.3 million in scholarships.
