Summary

As an Emmy award-winning journalist, I'm passionate about exploring the ways television news, social media, and technology work together in this constantly changing digital world. My Spanish speaking skills have allowed me to explore stories beyond the common language barrier. My genuine love of storytelling combined with my ability to shoot, write, and produce content has sparked my passion for a career in media. I am a naturally curious person who loves to make conversation with just about anyone!
