About
A dedication to social justice, equity and accountability for our elected officials is the driving force behind my passion for journalism. As a first-generation Latina, I have observed firsthand the deep mistrust between underrepresented and marginalized communities and traditional media outlets. My goal is to help rebuild this trust, both within my community and similar ones, by providing insightful and relevant reporting that empowers the Latino/x community to thrive.
Previously, I served as an education reporter for the Monterey Herald and have contributed freelance work to Voices of Monterey Bay, covering community and city council news, as well as authoring opinion pieces.
