about
Howdy! I’m a New York-based multimedia storyteller hailing from Mexico City by way of Texas. I currently work as a booking and segment producer with NewsNation, where I helped launch two weekend national news shows. Prior to broadcast, I was the Head of Marketing and Communications for tokenproof, a web3 startup providing traditional brands the tools to engage their fans using NFTs and blockchain technology. Before that, I spent seven years working in various newsrooms, including as a reporter, columnist, editor and social media contributor. I received a graduate degree from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY, earning the opportunity to serve as The 19th’s inaugural fellow and spending my final semester writing about the multilingual communication crisis at the heart of the COVID pandemic.
