Gladys Vargas
I am a multimedia journalist and recent arrival to Southern California from the Greater Boston area where I was born. My interest in journalism is motivated by my combined passions for justice and creativity, as well as my experience growing up in an ethnically diverse but majority-white community. My reporting is informed by my friends’ and family’s experiences with interpersonal violence, and the knowledge that all justice work is related. Previous news outlets I’ve had the privilege to work with include the Boston Globe, the Bay State Banner, 7 NEWS-WHDH, and various student-run publications. I love espresso, movies, and making my friends laugh.
