SAN DIEGO’S MOST VISIBLE CONSUMER ADVOCATE, Marti Emerald has been a fixture on local television and radio for 25 years. She began her broadcast career in 1978 in Washington, D.C., as a reporter for Associated Press Radio and in 1985 joined San Diego’s KGTV Channel 10, where she launched her popular Troubleshooter reports. In addition to a host of professional honors——including one from the National Press Club for best consumer reporting in the United States——she’s won dozens of awards for community service. Emerald lives in Tierrasanta with her husband, Michael Klarfeld, and 13-year-old daughter, Chloe.

TOM BLAIR: You’re a wife, a mother, an award-winning investigative reporter and a public speaker. Are you still a part-time jazz singer, too?

MARTI EMERALD: Haven’t done it in a long time, but who knows when a gig will pop up?
