I have extensive experience in social video and Instagram Story production, and I’ve worked on a team that produced content for Snapchat Discover.

I’m currently a YouTube video journalist at The Wall Street Journal. Previously at WSJ, I was a social video journalist. I produced social videos on tight daily deadlines for 2 years and published more than 600 pieces.

Before that, I worked at The New York Times as an Instagram editor, assistant video editor, Snapchat Discover writer and social media intern.

I’ve also worked at NBC Nightly News, CNBC, KNBC Los Angeles (LA’s NBC station) and KUT (Austin’s NPR station).

I earned a degree in broadcast and digital journalism from the University of Southern California, which I attended as a Gates Millennium Scholar.

At USC, I served as executive editor of USC Annenberg Media, a student newsroom of more than 200 journalists. Previously at USC Annenberg Media, I was an executive producer for a social video team, social media editor, Snapchat show host, Facebook Live host, television reporter, radio anchor and social video producer.

During college, I also served a 17-month term on the National Association of Hispanic Journalists' national board as the group's student representative.

Fun fact​s
​I'm a Gates Millennium scholar, so my undergraduate degree was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. A news outlet produced a story about it!
​
​While working at “NBC Nightly News” in New York, I storyboarded and edited a digital video that received more than 30 million views on Facebook. You can watch it below. It’s about a 7-story replica of Noah’s Ark that was being built in Kentucky. I produced other social videos as well and wrote the evening newsletter alongside digital staff.
