PATSI ARIAS
Patsi Arias started as a model in her native country of the Dominican Republic. A small town girl with big city dreams, Patsi modeled successfully in her country working with numerous fashion designers and being featured in ad campaigns. She eventually would go to Japan representing DR in the Miss International pageant where she placed among the finalists. Patsi then started working in radio and eventually moved to television as an anchor for one of the top television news channels in her country. After a little under 3 years, Patsi was recruited and hired by one of the world's biggest Latin channels Telemundo. She packed her bags and made her way to the U.S where she anchored the local news for 5 years and earned 3 Emmy Awards. After, she produced and hosted her own local show in NY before returning to Telemundo as the NY correspondent on their national morning show Un Nuevo Dia. After taking some time to start a family and freelancing for New York's 24 hour news channel NY1 News, Patsi eventually became the anchor for the Spanish language channel of NY1, NY1 Noticias. Today, she continues her career as one of the most respected journalists and television personalities in Spanish language programming and seeks to share her knowledge and guidance to those seeking similar career paths.
Patsi teaches the Accent Talent Journalism Workshops and works with young talent to develop the skills needed for careers in broadcast journalism. She also assists in the modeling workshops.
