I explore the nuances of how students navigate higher education on their way to graduation.
I'm also the host of The Forgotten Revolutionary podcast.
Over the last 20-plus years I've covered a lot of what makes L.A. L.A. — transportation, K-12 education, municipal politics and art, and I’ve profiled many of our most creative visual and performing artists.
I’ve found this wide range of reporting experience helps me in my current beat.
I was born in Mexico City and grew up in Tijuana and San Diego. I’ve spent a lot of time keeping up my Spanish and that’s helped me stay connected to my Mexican culture, and the cultures of Latin America.

I’ve won the LA Press Club’s 2006 Radio Journalist of the Year and other awards. I live with my family in Long Beach.
