Over the past 20-plus years I've covered a lot of what makes L.A. L.A. — transportation, 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 role as a general assignment reporter with a focus on covering arts and culture.
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 put in a lot of miles driving around Southern California to report, and that’s led me to love how distinct each neighborhood is: in geography, architecture, warmth and food.
I won the L.A. Press Club’s 2006 Radio Journalist of the Year and other awards. I'm also the host of the Forgotten Revolutionary podcast. I live with my family in Long Beach.
