What I cover
I'm LAist’s midday host. I interview local artists, elected officials and other newsmakers live on All Things Considered — and guide our listeners through the daily twists and turns of the news from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
My background
I grew up in Colton and graduated from Cal State Fullerton with degrees in journalism and American Studies. I've covered a range of issues from crime and public safety in the Inland Empire to immigration and business stories at the Chicago Tribune. I also helped launch a daily news talk show at NPR member station WBEZ, where I wrote about education and youth culture. I joined LAist in 2023 to launch its first-ever digital equity beat, reporting on efforts to connect Angelenos to affordable, high-speed internet as well as the digital skills they need for modern life.
My goals
I want to help Angelenos navigate the top stories of the day and get a better sense of what is happening in our region — and why they should care.
