Meet the KTVL News Team
Jessica De Nova - Reporter
Jessica was raised in Southern California and quickly fell in love with the natural beauty and help-thy-neighbor attitude of the Pacific Northwest, when she moved to Klamath Falls in 2009 after her husband accepted a position as a firefighter.
Mexican by birth and American at heart, her parents always instilled in her the belief that with hard work, dedication and integrity, she could achieve her dreams and overcome any obstacles placed before her.
If asked just a few years ago, she would've sworn she was well on her way to a career in the medical field. Always focused on that goal, she graduated with a B.S. in Biology, Minor in Chemistry and a Certificate in Health Care Administration from California State University, Long Beach in 2009.
During her free time, Jessica enjoys running to unwind, hiking to feed her fascination with nature, dining out to explore new flavors, dancing to the rhythmic beats of her Latin roots, giving back to her community through volunteer work, going on pack-enough-food-and-warm-clothes-in-case-we-end-up-stranded adventures through the Pacific Northwest with her husband and of course, playing with her 10-pound we-think-shes-a-Chihuahua-mix-but-she-thinks-shes-a-German-Shepherd obsession, Roxy.
Jessica came to a crossroads in 2012, where she had to choose between going away to school to fulfill her life's plan of studying medicine, or taking a once-in-a-lifetime chance as a reporter. She examined her life -- class president, recognized often in school and her community as a leader, interning, volunteering and organizing grass-roots efforts to keep her community informed and educated on issues that affect them, and always known as the person who can turn a five second comment into a five hour, detail-riddled novel -- she knew there was too much that intrigued her in the world, too many stories to tell and millions in need of a liaison through which to voice their opinions, for her to let this opportunity pass her by.
She was thrilled to accept her position with KTVL in October 2012 and plans to pursue her graduate education in the field after a few years of experience.
Though she misses her family in Southern California, she always carries with her the morals and values with which she was raised and is excited to continue making use of them in her new home.
Molly Trotter - Reporter
Molly Trotter joined the News10 team in August 2012.
Molly Trotter was born in Newport Beach, Calif. and moved to Hillsboro, Oregon shortly after, where she grew up and went to Liberty High School.
At Liberty, Molly was heavily involved in LTV, which was the daily newscast, where she learned how to anchor, direct and produce and morning show. She says, this is where she first was interested in becoming a reporter; she was only 15 years old.
She graduated from Pacific University- Oregon with a B.A. in Journalism with an emphasis in broadcasting. While at Pacific, Molly anchored on Boxercast, which was a daily newscast everyday. She also was the creator of Boxercast Sports, where she did wrap up highlights for each of the 22 athletic teams at Pacific. She also interned for KOIN Local 6 in Portland.
At Pacific, Molly was heavily involved in sports. She played on the varsity volleyball team, as well as participating in intramural volleyball and basketball. She has played sports since a young age and has tried just about everything. Volleyball is her true passion though. She started playing in the sixth grade and has not stopped since. She says, there is nothing better then being the small man on the court and showing those 6-feet-3-inch girls that she can battle at the net.
When Molly isn't playing sports, she is usually in the weight room keeping in shape, enjoying her free time relaxing or hanging out with friends.
Molly loves being a reporter, especially getting to know new people everyday around the community.
