Jasmine Arenas is a bilingual reporter who is excited to be working in the capital city of the beautiful state of Colorado. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Jasmine is thrilled to be back in a city that feels similar to her childhood home.
Prior to joining the CBS News Colorado Team in Denver, Jasmine was a multimedia journalist and anchor in Colorado Springs where she was a voice for the Hispanic community, covering anything from human interest stories to immigration to sports. During the pandemic, Jasmine played a huge role in ensuring the Hispanic community was educated on the COVID-19 vaccine and reported extensively on the challenges the community faced during the difficult time.
Prior to Colorado Springs, Jasmine was a multimedia journalist, weather personality, news anchor and sports reporter for KSWT, the CBS affiliate in Yuma, Arizona. That is where she really learned everything from capturing video to writing and editing her own work.
She also worked as a journalist for KAWC Yuma, a radio station at Arizona Western College, where she covered topics that interested the desert southwest communities.
Jasmine considers herself a well-rounded journalist, having tapped into a little bit of everything. She also has a sports background. Her favorite sport depends on the season, but in the fall she loves football and basketball.
She's a proud Cal State Fullerton Titan. Jasmine graduated from the university and started working in the television industry right away. Jasmine interned all over LA. Some internships included the NBC Sportsdesk in Los Angeles where she had a chance to shadow local legends. She was also an intern for Spectrum Sportsnet where she crossed paths with her favorite athlete ever, Kobe Bryant. She's also proud to have worked for Fox Deportes and Fox Sports West (now known as Bally Sports) during her college years. There she assisted talent and production during pre and post Angels, Clippers and LA Kings shows.
When she's not working she enjoys spending time with her family, watching a game, or shopping! She's also a proud Latina with Mexican roots and enjoys her regional Mexican music, dancing and all things that make her culture special!
