What I cover
I cover topics of all kinds, from breaking news broadcasts to lighthearted conversations with filmmakers and Angelenos. I’ve also helped produce LAist live events, including our COVID-19 retrospective and FilmWeek screening series.
My background
I’ve lived in different cities around L.A. County my entire life. I’m an alum of Cerritos College, Long Beach City College and Long Beach State, with a degree in journalism and minor in film.
My goals
I want to cover local stories that matter to Angelenos. I’m always looking for subjects that will get people talking.
