What I cover
I’m part of a team that brings listeners thoughtful and engaging stories, ranging from local to national news.
My background
I started at LAist in 2022 as an apprentice news clerk for AirTalk. I grew up in La Habra and enjoy covering the region that helped shape me.
My goals
To bring our listeners interesting and informative stories that make them think about our city and community in new ways. I also like to sprinkle in a little bit of fun and creativity in every segment I produce.
