Acerca de mí
Like it says, here’s a little about me.
Born and raised in Chicago, I am the last and strangest daughter in a tight-knit family of many experiences — we are Indigenous Mexicans from Guanajuato, of Otomi and Purépecha heritage, we share a legacy of post-colonialism, migration — and so much more.
I am an experienced editorial leader, audience strategist and award-winning journalist. Through culture-shifting journalism, I strive to create digital spaces that are more civically engaging, accessible and reflective of the real world.
My written work explores how marginalized communities survive and thrive in the western world; the ways cultural phenomena, politics, art and technology can impact populations in disparate ways. Occasionally, I write personal essays, too.
Today, I call Los Angeles home.
