ABOUT ME
22-year-old Texas Ex from San Antonio, Texas.
Driven by a passion to help and inform others, my interest in journalism began as a little girl watching the local Spanish news with my grandparents.
Born and raised in the city's West Side, I can relate, understand and empathize with the daily struggles Hispanics face in my community. Coming from a low-economic background and a neighborhood with high poverty/unemployment rates has pushed me to strive for more. Always humble and hardworking, I carry my roots everywhere I go.
I attended Edgewood ISD and just recently graduated from The University of Texas at Austin's Moody College of Communication with a bachelors degree in Journalism.
At UT, I gained broadcast experience through producing, anchoring, writing and editing for Reporting Texas TV. And through my intensive journalism courses, I have sharpened my video editing with Adobe Premiere Pro, audio editing with Adobe Audition, pitching, reporting and interviewing skills.
Two of the most impactful experiences during my undergraduate career have been interning for The Voces Oral History Center at UT and for Univision 41 San Antonio. Throughout the two years with Voces, I have interviewed essential workers during COVID-19, created short audio pieces for Hispanic Heritage Month, edited transcripts, metatagged photographs in our collection along with other tasks. A project I admire as it continues documenting and preserving the stories of Latinas and Latinos in the U.S. Also, while interning with Univision 41 over the summer of 2021, I learned from my mentors in the news and production departments. I gained insight to reporting out in the field, live shots, creating a package on deadline to helping the production team with commercial shoots and shooting b-roll at events. All while expanding my network and contacts.
I look forward to continue learning and growing in a career where I can positively impact my community of San Antonio.
Con dedicación y esfuerzo todo es posible!
Outside I like to spend time with family, travel, bake, play basketball, visit family in Mexico, and take my huskies for walks.
