ROBBY KLEIN
Cruz Medina
Occupation: Meteorologist
Hometown: Wilson, NC
What accomplishment are you most proud of?
My Certified Broadcast Meteorologist distinction from the American Meteorological Society (AMS). This seal is the highest certification one can obtain from the AMS. It required passing a rigorous exam, and having my work critiqued by the AMS Board of Broadcast. I worked hard for this certification to set myself apart and show viewers that I care and always work hard to earn their trust.
What organization are you affiliated with and why is it important to you?
The American Cancer Society (ACS). This is my first year being a Men Wear Pink ambassador for the ACS [and] although I joined to bring awareness to breast cancer and raise money for research, I think all forms of cancer need awareness. I have watched people I love and care for either battle cancer or lose a battle to cancer. I am a firm believer that the more we can help others battling cancer, and the more research we can do to find a cure, the better their quality of life can be.
What is your definition of beauty?
Beauty is more than just appearance; it’s found in the depths of your heart and soul. You can be the most physically attractive person, but your character and how you treat others can take away from your beauty. I’ve found the most beautiful people in life uplift others with kindness, support, and love, rather than tearing them down.
