I'm a freelance multimedia journalist, visual storyteller, photographer, and producer. I cover culture and identity through a Latinx lens. In the past, I've created a video series for LA Weekly called "Abuelitas and Chefs" which tells the stories of Mexican chefs in L.A. and how they are influenced by their grandmother's. My work has been featured on Remezcla, KCET, LA Weekly, and Mitu, among others. In 2017, I served as a lead researcher and story producer for a documentary series on Latinos and cannabis. Most recently, I was an associate producer, translator (English to Spanish), casting lead, and script supervisor for a project at a creative agency with 108 video deliverables. I currently serve as an associate producer on "A Woman's Work," a feature documentary about wage theft in NFL cheerleading premiering at Tribeca this spring. I'm passionate about in-depth stories that create connections between culture and social issues and that give a voice to those that need to be heard the most. As a Latina I find it crucial to have perspectives like my own featured more frequently in mainstream media.
