I am a general assignment reporter at the Nogales International where I write news, feature and enterprise stories on diverse topics including devastating wildfires, affordable housing, a child molestation trial, a small community divided by a possible mining project, public records and government transparancy, and a man who dresses up like it's Halloween every day.
The NI is a twice-weekly, award-winning paper that covers Nogales and the rest of Santa Cruz County, Ariz., as well as Nogales, Sonora.
My reporting on the departure – and scramble to replace – a community college won second place for best sustained coverage in the 2017 Arizona Newspaper's Association contest. I won third place for best sports story for my article on a beloved martial arts teacher who holds affordable classes in a trailer park.
My story on the divides deaf people face when they cross the Ambos Nogales border won first place for social issues reporting in the 2016 Arizona Press Club contest.
I am available for freelance radio and print projects in Southeastern Arizona. I also build Weebly and Squarespace websites.
Before the NI, I was a producer at Interfaith Voices, the only public radio show covering religion, politics and culture. Before that, I was a freelance reporter at In These Times. My radio work has aired on New Hampshire Public Radio's Word of Mouth, With Good Reason, Free Speech Radio News (FSRN) and Pacifica Radio (KPFK and KPFA).
I studied radio and multimedia at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies and received a B.A. with honors in anthropology from Pitzer College.
In my free time you can find me riding my bike, petting other people's dogs, and asking big questions.
