Diego Perdomo
WLRN News InternDiego Perdomo is a Fall 2025 intern at WLRN.
Originally from Queens, New York, he has accepted the fact that he is a Floridian since moving to Broward County in 2017.
Graduating from the University of Florida in May, Diego was a managing editor at Atrium Magazine and the Independent Florida Alligator. He also reported and shot photos for WUFT News and Fresh Take Florida.
Over the summer, he interned with Latino USA through the Dow Jones News Fund program. He was surprised to find out that he's not the first person at WLRN to have worked at Latino USA and been part of the 2020 Super Bowl Halftime Show at Hard Rock Stadium.
When he's not reporting, he is biking, skateboarding and having choice thoughts on South Florida's pedestrian infrastructure.
