Award-Winning Bilingual Video Journalist & Communications Strategist

A decade of telling stories that make people stop, feel, and act.

I report, shoot, write, and edit video from concept through final cut, and I build the strategy that gets it seen. My work spans broadcast, digital, and social — across newsrooms and national campaigns — and it's built on the clarity, speed, and editorial judgment that high-stakes storytelling demands.

Who is Adriana Loya?

I am a bilingual journalist and strategist who came up in high-accountability newsrooms, where clarity, credibility, and speed are everything. I built my craft as a one-person production team — reporting, shooting, and editing my own stories on deadline — and later expanded into communications strategy for a national campaign. That range lets me both tell a story with a camera and make sure the right people see it. Whatever the format, my goal is the same: stories that people trust and remember.
