I’m a journalist because I like storytelling. I enjoy reading and writing stories that others like me will relate to. In a way, I like being able to represent my community wherever that may be at the time. And I like informing others on what’s happening in the area. My reporting background includes local reporting, covering city council meetings and cultural stories. I am Mexican American and I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley.
