REPORTER | PRODUCER | EDITOR
Dedicated to telling character-driven stories in sound, in English and Spanish. Over a decade of experience in connecting with diverse audiences by finding what is moving, thought-provoking or misunderstood in people and places that are often overlooked.
With a focus on Latin American and Latinx stories in the U.S., my work has appeared in major podcasts and national public radio shows, reaching across national and language barriers.

As senior editor with Latino USA, I collaborated with a team of in-house producers and freelance reporters in developing and shaping long-form stories and documentaries. I also worked on finding the right balance of evergreen, newsy and interview content for a national show centered on Latinx communities throughout the U.S.

Through my reporting and production work for Radio Ambulante, the premier nonfiction storytelling outlet in Spanish, I identified and told character-driven stories in both English and Spanish that have connected with listeners in Latin America and the U.S.
