As early as 12 years old, Mariana Van Zeller wanted to be a journalist.
"I would watch all these women with all this incredible knowledge of the world," she said reflecting on her early impulses to become an international reporter. Today, she is a correspondent for the Vanguard documentary series on Current TV, a role that allows her to travel the world in search of stories often left unheard.
She is drawn to stories about the "underdogs," she said, and calls immigration an issue that strikes close to her heart.
Her goal is simple: "To get behind the headlines and try to understand and to express what motivates these people."
