About

I earned a master's degree in Mass Communication from Cal State University of Northridge in May 2018, after working for more than 20 years as a reporter and editor in the Spanish media in Los Angeles. During those years, I have participated in numerous workshops and programs such as the Scientific Journalism offered by the Institute of Americans in the University of San Diego and La Narrativa Latinoamericana del Siglo XXI provided by la Fundación Universidad de Guadalajara A.C. in Los Angeles.In 2006, I received the Regional Spanish Newspaper Reporter Integrity Award by the Coalition for A Safe Environment; and in 2010, I received the U.S. Census award for bringing the most organizations in the region to the process. I volunteered for six months as a Probation Officer (POV) in Orange County and a year as a Downey Public Works Commissioner. I have worked in the media such as La Opinion, Univision, Eastern Group Publications and Hoy Los Angeles.
