Adi Guajardo

Adi Guajardo is a bilingual general assignment reporter with a focus on immigration and mental health. Adi joined CBS News New York in March 2025.

Previously, Adi was a national correspondent for Scripps News based in New York. Prior to that role, Adi made stops in Denver, San Antonio and Eugene, OR. Adi is a well-versed reporter with experience covering a range of important issues from gun violence and immigration to severe weather and sports championships. Curiosity has always guided Adi; it's how she landed in her first storytelling class. The multimedia course marked the beginning of a mission to better understand people, issues plaguing our nation, and those in power helping shape the future.

Adi was born in Waukegan, IL, and went to college in Milwaukee, WI. She loves the Midwest charm but strongly believes that life is full of opportunities worth chasing.

Outside of the newsroom, Adi is committed to her community. She volunteers to help raise awareness and prevention of HIV and suicide, two issues she holds close to her heart. If you or a loved one are experiencing suicidal thoughts, you can get help by calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. When Adi's not working, she can be found cooking, dancing, biking, or exploring the jazz scene.
