Eileen Teves
Reporter / Co-Host - Great Day SA
Born in San Francisco, Eileen grew up in the Bay Area but is proud to call the Alamo City her home. A graduate of the University of California at Davis, she earned a bachelor's degree in rhetoric and communications. She comes to KENS with several years of television news experience. Before Great Day SA, Teves worked as a reporter and video journalist at News 9 San Antonio. In 2001 she worked as a bureau reporter in Altoona, Pennsylvania where she covered the rescue of the nine trapped coal miners and the one-year anniversary of the September 11th crash of United Flight 93 in Shanksville. In 1999, the California native got her start at KWES-TV in Midland, Texas as a reporter and fill-in anchor. When she's not working, you just might see her literally "running" around. So far, she's completed 2 full marathons, plus 9 half marathons and counting in Las Vegas, Houston, Austin, San Diego and San Antonio. She also teaches an indoor cycling class. Her proudest career moment was when she and photographer Andrew Norwood won their first Lone Star Emmy Award for a story that was close to her heart, Philippine Scouts: The Forgotten Heroes. They received the Emmy for Outstanding Achievement in a Magazine Program – Feature/Segment. They were also nominated for another story in that same category. Eileen is an active member of the Asian American Journalist Association, and is a board member for the Alamo Asian American Chamber of Commerce.
