I'm a free-range, classically trained journalist-editor who loves a good story.

​

A large part of my journalism career, now more than a decade, has been spent in news production and managing news teams — from high-volume daily newsrooms to digital-only publications, both in the U.S. and internationally.

​

As a reporter, I've led breaking news coverage and done boots-on-the-ground reporting from Silicon Valley to San Francisco, Los Angeles and beyond.​

​

Being first-gen, I'm drawn to stories about culture and those highlighting underrepresented communities — in music, in the arts, and in everyday life.
