Former General Assignment Reporter
(she/her)
Before joining LAist in 2023, I covered L.A. politics, the environment, immigration, and South Dakota's 2023 legislative session for the Associated Press. A lifelong Angeleno, I'm passionate about the intersections between urban affairs, the outdoors, arts and culture, and I'm committed to reporting on the policies, institutions and experiences they intertwine with. My work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, the Guardian and the Washington Post. I'm also fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.
