About Me
Storyteller.
Strategist. Creator.
My name is Gabriela Vidal, and my passion is storytelling — whether through a lens, the words I write on a page, or a piece of content that stops someone mid-scroll. I've spent nearly a decade dedicated to the craft across some of the country's top news markets.
Currently a reporter at CBS News Colorado, I lead planning and execution of high-visibility digital and broadcast stories. I'm also an Emmy-nominated journalist, a travel and landscape photographer, and a social media creator connecting everyday audiences with the stories happening around them.
