I am an Emmy-winning journalist from El Paso, TX, skilled in digital editing, podcast creation, set design, live audio and TV production, and show hosting.
My expertise spans art, housing, homelessness, and social welfare, particularly as they impact communities of color. I focus on issues such as mental health in BIPOC communities, health access, and inequities in public policy and social justice.
My creative media career began with internships at the El Paso Museum of Art, where I scoured through museum archives, wrote art labels and edited for the 2013 Biennial Catalog and, later, on NPR’s Culture Desk where I filed the data that creates “Books We Love.”
I am driven by a passion for fostering connection and taking action—think of me as a compassionate yet energetic activator (Source: Gallup, CliftonStrengths Skills Assessment).
My work has been featured in Centro de Periodismo Investigativo, Kensington Voice, Inti Media, WHYY News, Studio 2, Billy Penn, Plan Philly,The Philadelphia Tribune, WESA, on air and online. Previous publications include Solutions Journalism Network, Kansas City PBS, Flatland KC, KCUR, NPR, Alt. Latino and PBS Newshour’s Arts Canvas.
