Caitlin Hernández
On-Call Assistant Producer, Community Engagement | (they/them)My job can look a little different depending on the day, but I'm always helping to build relationships between LAist and the rest of L.A. For more than a year, I've helped answer thousands of questions, connected with hundreds of people through our texting service, and designed engaging ways to get important information to you.
In my free time, I'm a busy dog parent to an anxious poodle and I write queer-focused stories through an intersectional lens.
