Rey Llerena

Rey Llerena joined the WYFF News 4 team in October 2023. Born in Hialeah, Florida, Rey remembers watching local news with his family every night before bed. Rey graduated from Florida International University in 2017 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism. Originally a newspaper reporter, Rey interned for the Miami Herald before landing a job working at WSVN 7News in Miami as a digital journalist.

Rey made the switch to television news in 2021 after landing his first on-air role at WCSC Live 5 News, the CBS station in Charleston, SC. Rey spent two years there and covered a wide range of stories, including the murder trial of Alex Murdaugh, Hurricane Ian and local politics.

When he is not working, you can find Rey out on the golf course, watching sports or walking around, enjoying the area.

Rey es Cubano y se gusta hacer café para todos que quieren!
