Jackie Guerrido
|
Before Jackie worked in the media, she had shown interest in other areas of work. In 1996, Guerrido attended open auditions for the film based on slain Tejano superstar Selena. Among thousands of hopefuls auditioning, Jennifer Lopez was ultimately cast as star of the film, Selena.
Guerrido was offered a position on WSKQ's morning show, El Vacilon de la Mañana ("Good times in the morning"), by a producer who heard her doing a voice-over. She soon received an offer from WRMA (106.7) in Miami, which she accepted.
Guerrido settled down in Miami and she joined the HBC Radio Company, after working at "Romance" for a year. There she was given the opportunity to co-host a radio program with the duties of broadcasting news and traffic conditions. Eventually, she was given her own music show at WRTO (98.3). She also landed a job in television as a traffic reporter for WSCV, Miami's Telemundo affiliate, working for both the radio and television at the same time.
