Zamora graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia with a degree in broadcast journalism. She took her first job in television at KOLR in Springfield, Missouri. Zamora worked there for four years before going to KSHB in Kansas City, where she worked as a photographer, assignment editor and reporter.
Zamora left the television news industry briefly to produce a television show for the Kansas City Police Department. She went on to work for the City Government Station in Kansas City, producing several shows. Zamora produced and hosted a news program called "Kansas City Matters," which received both a Telly and a Communications Award.
