I'm a multilingual journalist based in California with 11 years of experience in audio production, editing, print and on-air feature writing, and investigative reporting.​​

 

I worked with rural-serving newsrooms at the Institute for Nonprofit News for a year on editorial collaborations and audience growth. A fall 2025 series on food insecurity was republished in over 700 outlets and reached policy-makers and advocates across the country, just as hunger hit national headlines due to federal government cuts.

​

In 2024, I uncovered how disinformation narratives target Latinos on Spanish-language radio in an investigation for Feet in 2 Worlds that also appeared on WNYC, NAHJ's palabra, and Puente News Collaborative. I talked about it on several Spanish-language outlets, at conferences and classes, and was so excited when it won a 2025 Ñ Award.

​​

I continue to build my expertise on Latino voters, including analysis of how conservatives are mobilizing this electorate. I look forward to covering the many important elections happening this year, and exploring what misinformation looks like and how it spreads in 2026. I'm also doubling down on mentorship and teaching opportunities, especially for other reporters with immigrant backgrounds.

​​​

As a seasoned audio producer and editor, I've launched and run dozens of shows, from narrative documentary series to interview podcasts. I write about the experience of immigrating to the U.S. for outlets like The Guardian.

 

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. In 2020 I broke news about a Covid-19 outbreak among garment workers in downtown Los Angeles who were making cloth masks.​ In 2025, I was named one of Current's Rising Stars in Public Media for my contributions to nonprofit media and radio, which is how I got started.

 

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