Paula Fidalgo is a familiar face in New York's Capital Region - one of the first staffers hired in 2002 at Time Warner Cable's Cable News 9 channel.
She spent years on screens, delivering the news, using her creative talents behind the scenes, and more before venturing out on her own.
The stories she helped deliver and the people she met helped her as she decided to craft her first book of fiction "They Even Took My Shoes: How a journalist overcame betrayal, an abusive court system and kept her promise."
I sat down with Paula to learn about her life; her world travels, and and her struggles. I learned how amazingly upbeat she was during her early life and how her energy continued as she told me her story.
