Roxanne Vargas joined “Today in South Florida” in May 2007 as the first in-studio traffic reporter at NBC 6, providing South Florida with complete, time saving traffic coverage. Now, in addition to covering entertainment, feature, health and consumer reports during “Today in South Florida” between 5 and 7 a.m., Roxanne is a co-anchor on South Florida’s only locally-produced news, talk and variety program “South Florida Today.”
You've also seen Roxanne co-host several special programs on NBC 6, such as the weekend edition of the "Olympic Zone," "Autocast 2007," the "NBC 6 & Telemundo 51 Heath & Fitness Expo” and the "NBC 6 & Telemundo 51 Travel & Recreation Expo."
Roxanne's co-workers have given her the title of "dynamic reporter" after covering dynamite stories such as the implosion of the historic Sheraton Bal Harbor, the Miami Arena and the sinking of a German freighter off the coast of Miami Beach.
Among various distinctions, Roxanne received an Emmy nomination for her report in the locally produced special “Best In,” which featured the best local attractions in South Florida.
In 2009, as part of her commitment to serving the community, Roxanne has served as Principal for a Day, served as emcee at the Annual Kidney Walk benefiting the National Kidney Foundation and was recently crowned champion of “Dancing with the Stars of Broward,” a competition benefiting The Pantry of Broward.
A South Florida native, Roxanne earned her Bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism from Florida International University. She enjoys going to the movies, reading and spending time with family and her golden retriever, Toby.
