I'm a multilingual journalist based in California with 10 years of experience in audio production, editing, print and on-air feature writing, and investigative reporting. I bring all this to my current role at the Institute for Nonprofit News, where I work with members of the Rural News Network to develop and execute high-impact investigative reporting series.

​

In a 2024 investigation for Feet in 2 Worlds, WNYC, NAHJ's palabra, and Puente News Collaborative, I uncovered how and why disinformation narratives target Latinos on Spanish-language radio -- and what impact that could have on the Latino vote in the 2024 elections. Its publication was followed by a month of interviews on Spanish-language outlets.

​

I write about the experience of immigrating to the U.S. for outlets like The Guardian and pull from my rigorous background in political science to frame my reporting. An article I reported about the conditions asylum seekers are facing in open-air detention centers was cited in a complaint to the Department of Homeland Security filed by humanitarian groups. Another feature about the U.S.-Mexico border was among my articles published in The Guardian's printed magazine in the UK. And my enterprise reporting on a Covid-19 outbreak among garment workers in downtown Los Angeles in 2020 contributed to renewed calls for these workers' rights.

​

As a seasoned audio producer and editor, I've launched and run dozens of shows, including the inaugural season of 100 Latina Birthdays, an audio documentary series about Latina health in the U.S. I managed and produced a popular interview show for Latinas, a weekly political show for women of color in the U.S., and an original podcast for the Oprah Winfrey Network. I reported content for original narrative shows about school lunch, reparations, and criminal justice. My audio production experience extends across public radio (KQED, KCRW, Marketplace) and podcasts (Crooked, Paradiso/Binge Audio, Slate).​

 

I enjoy speaking at conferences about my experiences in media, and I love reading novels--especially ones by Latina authors, a group I hope to belong to one day.
