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 2025, I was named one of Current's Rising Stars in Public Media for my contributions to nonprofit journalism.

​

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 interviews on Spanish-language outlets, and it's a finalist for the 2025 NAHJ Ñ Awards.

​

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. My 2023 reporting about the detention of asylum seekers in the San Diego desert was cited in a complaint to the Department of Homeland Security filed by humanitarian groups. I broke news about a Covid-19 outbreak among garment workers in downtown Los Angeles making cloth masks in 2020.

​

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 insights into journalism by and for Latino communities, and I love reading novels--especially ones by Latina authors, a group I hope to belong to one day.
