She studied broadcast journalism at Ohio University and worked as a reporter in West Virginia and Kentucky before moving to Texas.
She is originally from Latrobe, Pennsylvania, which is also the hometown of Arnold Palmer and Mr. Rogers.
Since moving to the Beaumont/Port Arthur area in 2017, Borza has become heavily involved in the community. She is a member of Young Emerging Leaders, the Junior League of Beaumont, serves as the publicity chair for Nederland Rotary Club and is a member of the Local LINC, a volunteer organization through the United Way of Beaumont and North Jefferson County.
She also just accepted a role as board member for the United Way of Mid and South Jefferson County.
