In her role at CBS New York, Quijano co-anchors the weekend morning show. Her reporting as a CBS News correspondent is featured across all of CBS News and Stations' broadcasts and platforms, with a focus on Health & Wellness.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, she also led CBS News streaming political coverage, and was selected by the Commission on Presidential Debates to moderate the 2016 vice presidential debate. It marked the first time an anchor from a digital network would moderate a national debate in a general election campaign.

In 2011, Quijano revealed in a report that the White House did not send presidential condolence letters to the families of service members who committed suicide. After her report, President Obama reversed that policy.
