4. Ms. Diaz has reported first hand
on the inspirational story of
Kristina Ripatti, the LAPD officer,
shot in the line of duty and
paralyzed from her chest down.
Laura reported the stunning news
of Kristina's pregnancy, and was
inside the hospital room a few
months later as Kristina was
preparing to give birth to a baby
boy. And she continues to follow
Kristina's progress, reporting
stories such as the former officer
competing in the 2009 Boston
Marathon. One day Laura hopes to
be on hand as Kristina attempts to
walk again.

federal agent who went

murderous motorcycle gang,

member for a story on
"Emotional Gangs", a new kind

between African Americans
and Latinos in Los Angeles. It is
stories such as these that have
helped Laura transform into an
even more passionate reporter,
producer and storyteller.
