I'm a political journalist based in San Francisco with over a decade of experience breaking down complex issues for the public to empower us to take action. I'm interested in all the ways to get critical information and diverse perspectives in front of decision-makers. In the last few years, I've had the opportunity to mentor other journalists with immigrant backgrounds, advise organizations on supporting Spanish-language media, and teach investigative skills.​​

​

A lot of my work involves using my communication and leadership skills to get different people collaborating towards the same goal. Last year I worked with nearly 100 rural newsrooms at the Institute for Nonprofit News to support reporting on complex topics like clean energy jobs, immigration enforcement, and food policy.

​

In 2024, I explored how disinformation targets Latinos on Spanish-language radio in an award-winning investigation (Feet in 2 Worlds, WNYC, NAHJ's palabra, Puente News Collaborative).​​ I have spent over a decade building expertise on the Latino electorate and contextualizing immigration policy, pulling from my education in political science to do so. My reporting was cited in a formal complaint to the Department of Homeland Security by humanitarian groups.

As a seasoned audio producer and editor, I've launched and run dozens of shows, from narrative documentary series to interview podcasts. I'm often asked to contribute creatively to projects by and for Latinos and Spanish speakers.

​

I enjoy traveling and I love reading novels--especially ones by Latina authors, a group I hope to belong to one day.
