They are the proud daughter of Mexican immigrants who aspires to be a community driven reporter that challenges systems and propels meaningful change.

They were the editor-in-chief of DePaul University’s bilingual newspaper, La DePaulia, where they led a team that untangled the stories of members of the Latino/a/e/x community that are not often highlighted in the mainstream media, including the experiences of those who are transgender, indigenous, Afro-Latino, immigrant and first-generation.

They interned for Block Club Chicago, a local digital news outlet where they covered the environmental injustice, rallies, community meetings, the new wave of migrants arriving to the city and more.

Throughout the internship they frequently contributed to the publication’s “Top 10 Most Read Stories” and helped them reach wider audiences by creating engaging multimedia content for their social media platforms.

When they are not writing or overthinking about a story, they enjoy dancing around in their kitchen after a long day.
