What I cover
I cover breaking news, human-interest stories and what’s happening around SoCal. For LAist, I have written about street safety efforts, the fight to preserve open space, the first Salvadoran cookbook published in the U.S. and the weather.
My background
818 ‘til I die. I’ve grown up in the San Fernando Valley, which lays claim to many jewels — and oddities — from one of the state’s deadliest intersections to caves and canyons great for hikers to home of the best Salvadoran food in the region.
My goals
I want to help people make sense of the daily clamor of news overload and lift up the voices of community leaders, artists, cooks, small business owners, etc., who are changing their community for the better.
