I am originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico now based in Phoenix, Arizona. I am a multimedia journalist and master’s student at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. I have a passion for telling stories, accurately portraying the world's ups and downs. I focus on covering immigration, Indigenous communities, politics and arts/culture. I previously reported with the award-winning Carnegie-Knight News21. Currently, I report for Cronkite News and freelance for other outlets around Arizona.
In addition to journalism, I hold a Bachelor of Science in psychology and political science from Northern Arizona University. I have experience in local and state government affairs. I was a nonprofit organizer providing political education and social services to Arizonans. Additionally, I worked as a policy analyst focusing on economic and taxation policy.
My personal and professional experiences give me confidence in my ability to produce meaningful work and prioritize accuracy with accountability. I hold valuable knowledge of political trends, human behavior and insights into the needs of citizens. I use my narrative writing and photography skills to tell stories of resilience authentically – this is my mission
