NBC5/WPTV's Jacqulyn Powell and another excellent news segment in the City of Lake Worth about Compass

Once again, Jacqulyn Powell and TV news at its best. Here are two earlier segments she did about the Lake Worth Triathlon and another on efforts to solve a senseless murder. NBC5 is putting together a powerful group of reporters keeping CBS12/WPTV and ABC25/WPBF in the rearview mirror where they rightfully belong. Charlie Keegan, Jason Hackett, Gabrielle Sarann, and Andrew Ruiz are just a few of their talented staff.

If you're going to get your news from TV then watch WPTV although it's truly entertaining now and then to watch how many times the weekend anchor at CBS12 looks at the wrong camera. It's belly busting hilarious. I'll scream at the TV, "We're over here!".

Anyhow, learn more about Jacqulyn Powell here:
     Jacqulyn Powell joined WPTV as a multimedia journalist in April of 2015.
     She was born in Florida, but at a young age moved to Kentucky, where she grew up. After 20 years, she’s glad to finally be able to call herself a Floridian again.
     Jacqulyn grew up knowing she wanted to go into broadcasting. With parents in the radio business, she had her own talk show at age 12. In a high school broadcasting class, she discovered that pairing videography with her love of presenting was even more exciting and decided she wanted to go into TV news. By her senior year, she’d won a Robert F. Kennedy Award for humanitarian journalism and was flown to a ceremony in Washington D.C. to meet the Kennedy family.
Here is her latest news segment which is partly about Compass and their efforts to aid the transgender community in Palm Beach County:
