I cover pathways to higher education and the obstacles students face along the way.
Previously I was an editor in the KPCC/LAist newsroom, and before that, the Orange County reporter. In the past, I covered immigration, demographic changes and the drug war along the U.S.-Mexico border as part of the Fronteras Desk public media collaborative. I spent nearly two years managing Costa Rica's most prestigious English-language newspaper, The Tico Times, and eight years reporting from Central America.
Somewhere in there, I got my master's degree in journalism from UC Berkeley.
