Birmania RÃos (born in New York City, United States), is a Dominican
American television news journalist. Birmania (her name is the Spanish
name used for the country of Burma, which is now called Myanmar)
resided in New York until the age of four, when her family decided to
relocate to Puerto Rico. She spent her adolescence and early adulthood
on the island and upon finishing her studies and obtaining a degree in
communications from Universidad del Sagrado Corazón in San Juan, she
left Puerto Rico and relocated back to New York. Upon arriving in the
city, she participated in productions with the Puerto Rican Traveling
Theater, founded by the legendary Puerto Rican stage actress Miriam
Colón. However, it was when she found employment as a publicist on a
local Public-access television show, The Caribe Show, that opportunity
came knocking. A chance to be in front of the cameras came about one
day when the show's host was unable to host. After filling in during
her absence, she won the producer's and audience's admiration, and
then was permanently offered the job.From this experience, Birmania
gained local recognition in New York City's Latino community, and soon
afterwards she became a familiar face on local Univision station WXTV,
where she became a weather anchor, then she became a general
assignment reporter and for two years she was the hostess of an
entertainment show called Sabado al Mediodia. Two years later she
became the news anchor on the station's morning news broadcast Al
Despertar. She stayed with the station until 2005, when she decided to
join Univision's nationally televised morning show, Despierta America.
Since joining the program, she has become an audience favorite and
serves as the program's local correspondent in the New York City
metropolitan area.She resides in New York City with her daughter,
Valentina.
