J. Rosalye's Journey

Johanna-Rosalye is a seasoned Broadcast & Multimedia Journalist with over a decade of experience covering news and sports at the local and national levels. A Phoenix native, she is studied at Journalism at Walker Cronkite School of Journalism as well as Communications at the University of Phoenix. Her passion for sports was sparked by growing up with four older brothers, leading her to a career blending sports, media, and storytelling.  

Her journey began in 2011 with the Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum Hall of Fame, contributing to their blog and co-hosting 'Al Punto de la Pelota' podcast. This opened doors to covering the Arizona Diamondbacks and Major League Baseball while appearing on various media platforms. In 2012, she launched More Than Simply Basebal , later expanding into More Than Simply Sports and eventually founding Insight Sports Network. Through these platforms, she hosted Insight Sports Talk podcast and the Spanish-language podcast Punto Deportivo, serving the Spanish-language sports community.  

Johanna-Rosalye has covered major sporting events, including the MLB Postseason, NBA Playoffs, WNBA Finals, MLB & WNBA All-Star games, and CONCACAF Gold Cup. She has worked with The Sports Kave, La Mejor Arizona as a Spanish-language broadcaster for the Phoenix Suns, and as a News & Sports Reporter for Enlace Informativo at La Onda 1190AM/107.5FM. She was also a freelance journalist for VIVAPHOENIX.com.  

In 2023, Johanna-Rosalye embarked on a new project in which she was a State Forty Eight Foundation 2024 grant cohort for En Breve News. En Breve News is a bilingual news platform dedicated to amplifying Hispanic voices. The platform provides English and Spanish news content on politics, education, healthcare, business, and community resources—bridging the media gap for the Hispanic community.  

Through journalism, broadcasting, and community advocacy, Johanna-Rosalye remains committed to elevating diverse stories and ensuring representation in sports and news media.  ☽
