ReporterAna Longoria joined WEMU as a reporter in August 2024, driven by a deep passion for capturing the pulse of local news.
Growing up, Ana faced the challenge of childhood apraxia, a speech impairment that required extensive therapy. Overcoming this obstacle ignited her determination to continually push her vocal abilities.

Outside the newsroom, Ana indulges in a variety of interests. She is passionate about voice acting and enjoys narrating stories behind the mic. A fan of board and card games, anime, and Dungeons & Dragons, Ana also loves traveling to northern Michigan with her long-time girlfriend.
