Dancer & Traveler
Jobeth's love for the islands, its culture and dance blossomed at a young age. Most of her days growing up were spent in the dance studio or on a stage entertaining a crowd with her Hula, Tahitian and Philippine Folk dance skills. She has traveled and competed at events across the globe, including the Heiva in Tahiti in 2012.
Broadcast Television
Jobeth's diverse background in broadcast television began in 2011 and has brought her to tell amazing stories in CA, NE and HI. When she’s not working hard bringing viewers local headlines, breaking news and in-depth storytelling, you can find her at the beach with her dog, Koba.
Jobeth Devera is a storyteller with soul, a go-getter with grit, and above all, a proud mama of two tiny humans. A second-generation Filipino American raised in San Diego, she’s affectionately known by her family as “Babaeng walang pahinga”—the girl who never stops. And she hasn’t.
From dance recitals, to sport competitions, to newsrooms, Jobeth’s passion for performance and storytelling has taken her coast to coast. After graduating from San Diego State in 2011 with a degree in Communications and Public Relations, she dove right into her broadcast journalism career —starting first behind the scenes in Nebraska as a news producer and soon stepping in front of the camera as an MMJ, or one-woman news crew.
Her journey led her to Hawaii, where she helped launch the Islands’ #1 lifestyle show “HI Now,” earning her first Emmy award. In early 2020, Jobeth went on to Dallas, TX spearheading NBC’s “LX News”, covering major national stories during the historic pandemic year. Today, she’s back in California, lighting up screens on NBC’s “California Live”—highlighting the people, places, and pulse of the Golden State.
When she’s not on air, Jobeth is dancing, golfing, or chasing her two favorite co-stars: her kids. Follow her journey @jobethdeveratv.
