Navella Pedraza’s favorite part about San Antonio is its long-standing tradition of incorporating any excuse to throw a party! She especially enjoys the people, music, and fun of FIESTA! For Navella, joining the CVB team on Valentine’s Day 2000 was the sign of a sweet endeavor. She is proud to be a native San Antonian and graduate of St. Mary’s University. Navella comments, "I love that I discover something new about my city everyday!" Previously, she spent several years in the Washington, DC area as a Public Relations Director and Event Planner.
