What I cover
My most recent work can be heard on Weekend Edition with Josie Huang covering anything from citizen crosswalk installations to Eaton Fire recovery efforts.
My background
I came to LAist in 2021 as an apprentice news clerk for AirTalk with Larry Mantle. I was born in Bellflower and grew up on the eastern outskirts of L.A. County in cities like La Verne, Pomona and Claremont. One of my favorite characteristics of Southern California is how large it is, so I enjoy exploring all the nooks and crannies of the region.
My goals
I want to highlight the fun and overlooked parts that make Los Angeles a one-of-a-kind place to live in. In particular, I want to highlight stories about eastern L.A. County and beyond for our audience, giving them a taste of what’s happening in these areas.
