“Always a friendly face in the halls, she had an upbeat spirit, a curious and brilliant mind and a real passion to see the world,” said ABC News chief James Goldston. “She will be deeply missed.”

Valiente began her career as an intern. She worked her way up and was even part of the digital show integration team. She also worked on “Nightline,” “20/20” and “Popcorn with Peter Travers.” In 2018, the brilliant producer won an Emmy for her work on the “20/20” story “Las Vegas: Heartbreak and Heroes.”

“Fierce, funny and adventurous, that girl was a force who could light up a room,” said Katie Nelson, executive producer for ABC News Content.

Her colleagues remember her as a smart and dedicated journalist who lived life to the fullest. Allie Yang, an associate producer said:

“Every Friday afternoon, with just enough people still in the office to enjoy it, Alexa would treat the staff to ‘Flashback Friday’ — a weekly jam session at her desk where she’d play classics from Backstreet Boys, Usher and Britney Spears to sing and dance along to. She was lovingly referred to as ‘DJ Lexi Lex on the Dex.'”

Valiente is survived by her parents, Mante and Connie, her sister, Jessica, and brother, Justin.
