Dancer & Traveler

Jobeth's love for the islands, its culture and dance blossomed at a young age. Most of her days growing up were spent in the dance studio or on a stage entertaining a crowd with her Hula, Tahitian and Philippine Folk dance skills. She has traveled and competed at events across the globe, including the Heiva in Tahiti in 2012.

Broadcast Television

Jobeth's diverse background in broadcast television began in 2011 and has brought her to tell amazing stories in CA, NE and HI. When she’s not working hard bringing viewers local headlines, breaking news and in-depth storytelling, you can find her at the beach with her dog, Koba.

Meet the Woman Behind the Mic (and the Madness)

Hi, I’m Jobeth — a storyteller with soul, a creator with heart, and a mama of two tiny humans who keep me moving (literally and creatively). For 15 years, my career has taken me across the country– San Diego, Nebraska, Hawaii, Dallas, and San Francisco–giving me a front-row seat to the people, cultures, flavors, and experiences that make each place come alive. I’m drawn to culture-rich moments, everyday people, and the kinds of stories that make you say, “Wow, I didn’t know that!”

Whether I’m hosting on camera or producing behind the scenes, I pour intention and heart into every project. When a story grabs me, I follow it from spark to finish — no shortcuts, no halfway. Storytelling is the calling God placed on my life, and I honor it with purpose, curiosity, and a whole lot of love.

Oh yeah—I’m also an award-winning Tahitian dancer and a golfer… but only when the stars align and the kids take a nap.
