I’m one of the assistant producers for our radio station, which means I’m using my five senses to stay on top of what’s going on out there. I like zooming in on community impact stories, whether it’s how small business owners are fighting climate change with an e-bike or what tips can veteran climbers share to novice climbers that could potentially save a life.
I grew up in the San Fernando Valley and I’m a proud alum of Cal State Northridge. I know that we’re sometimes referred to as L.A. adjacent, but there’s much more than meets the eye. I can point you to some of the best pupusa spots, unique hiking areas and some really good pan dulce. 818 for life.
I also really like hamsters. Let me know what you want to see covered for LAist.
