Nespral, who originally was a University of Miami psychology major, stepped into journalism quite by accident.
Nespral's name was entered into the Orange Bowl Queens Pageant by her mother, which in turn triggered a chain reaction from winning the pageant to getting a job on the Latin American show, Sabado Gigante.
Upon the completion of her degree at UM, Nespral decided that entertainment was not her passion, and hoped that news television would suit her better. Nespral left Univision, got herself an agent and shortly after interviewed in New York City for the NBC Today Show.
At the young age of 25, Jackie Nespral was hired as one of NBC's network anchors, and had the opportunity to interview on an international forum.
"I had the opportunity to interview all kinds of people, including my long-time hero, Barbara Walters," Nespral said.
Even though she loved NY, Nespral decided to return to Miami, commuting for several years between both cities.
Following the expiration of her contract, Nespral gained a permanent position in Miami.
"I went from interviewing international presidents to local politicians," Nespral said.
