A Houston native<\/a> is taking on a new role at a South Texas<\/a> TV news station, where she’ll soon be reporting from the field and delivering the weekend newscasts.<\/p>\n

KIII 3News<\/a> in Corpus Christi<\/a> recently announced that\u00a0Amya Henry has joined the ABC affiliate as a multimedia journalist and weekend anchor.

While Henry is originally from Houston, she’s still getting acquainted with Corpus Christi<\/a>. She said she’s especially excited to explore the area\u2019s beaches, try activities like yoga and paddleboarding\u00a0and learn more about the region’s culture and history.<\/p>\n

Henry said she enjoys reporting on environmental issues, education and human interest stories, but she\u2019s open to exploring other topics as she gets to know her new community.<\/p>\n

“I’m open to everything. I feel like that\u2019s the best way to absorb into a community,” she said, adding that she enjoys hearing about what matters to residents and how those issues affect the wider community.<\/p>\n
