Recent UT Austin grad Madalynn Lambert has made her way on-air from behind the scenes as a reporter on KSAT 12's Good Morning San Antonio.
Here is a portion of what Lambert posted on social:
"I’m incredibly humbled to announce I’ve officially moved to GMSA as a Reporter at KSAT 12! This has been my dream, and I’m so thankful for my team at KSAT that has helped me get here.
Since post-grad, I feel like I’ve been running at 110 mph—being a sponge and constantly challenging myself as much as possible."
Lambert joined KSAT in July 2024 as a news trainee. She quickly worked her way up, earning a promotion to content gatherer in September 2024 and then to reporter in January 2026. Lambert made her first on-air appearance for “GMSA” on January 1.
Before beginning her broadcast journalism career, Lambert spent seven years with Bahama Buck’s Franchise Corporation, where she rose to regional manager overseeing locations in Austin and Universal City, Texas. In that role, Lambert managed sales, staffing, training, scheduling, and inventory, and led social media outreach efforts.
Lambert graduated from Judson High School in 2020 and earned her bachelor’s degree in journalism from The University of Texas at Austin in May 2024, with minors in global communication and science communication. During her time at UT, Lambert worked with the university’s broadcast journalism programs, including Texas Student Television and Reporting Texas. She also interned at KXAN Austin.
