Early life and education

Herera was born in Spokane, Washington and grew up in Brentwood, California where her father was a shoe wholesaler and her mother a housewife. In 1980, Herera earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from California State University, Northridge (CSUN) along with her future co-anchor Bill Griffeth.
