My career trajectory is guided by my values
and connection to my community.
I was born in México and raised in East Los Angeles, California. I grew up surrounded by people from different backgrounds. I welcome the opportunity to understand people and issues from different vantage points.
I completed my undergraduate studies in Political Science and the Study of Race and Ethnicity at Columbia University.
My research and senior thesis focused on Latino representation in news, shifts in the news business, and platform agnosticism in storytelling. My passion for powerful storytelling and representation in media led me to a career in journalism. I completed my Master's degree in Multimedia Journalism at New York University's Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute. My reporting and production skills have been featured across NBC News and MSNBC news properties, including NBC Nightly News, NBC News Digital, MSNBC, NBC News NOW, and Telemundo Digital. My work has also been featured in other media outlets, including Al-Jazeera, NPR's Latino USA, Salon, NAHJ’s Palabra, and Narratively.
My commitment to diverse storytelling led me to work as the Diversity Coordinator for NBC News and MSNBC at NBC Universal Comcast. My role focused on editorial and pipeline development. I produced editorial briefings, external panels, and internal briefing guides for news professionals. I also supported employee resource groups, recruitment, and development programs.
I am currently working as an independent journalist covering race and culture, immigration, climate, education, and political representation through an equity lens.
In addition to my work in media, I also have a background in public policy and the non-profit sector. My community work focused on expanding access and equity in education, health, and immigration through policy and community development.
