Maria Jimenez was a reporter for Quahog 5 News like the much better known Tricia Takanawa. However, she didn't stay with the channel very long for a number of reasons. She couldn't stand how anchorman Tom Tucker always mispronounced her name on air. She couldn't stand how he and Diane always introduced her as "Hispanic reporter Maria Jimenez" when she identified as Latina, and she didn't think it was appropriate. So Maria quit and is now working for another station in Missouri
