I’m a video journalist and storyteller dedicated to making news accessible, urgent and rooted in community. I was born and raised in Corona, Queens to undocumented immigrant parents, and I’ve seen firsthand how critical information often doesn’t reach the people who need it most. That experience fuels my passion for journalism that breaks down complex topics, especially around immigration, politics, and policy into clear, visual stories that resonate.

I believe video is the most powerful way to make the news feel human, relevant, and easy to understand. I want my work to reach those who might not read full articles, who speak English as a second language, or who simply feel left out of traditional media coverage. I’m a proud graduate of NYU (’21) and Columbia Journalism School (’24), and my work has been published by ABC News, Epicenter-NYC, Latin Times, Documented, and CBS News.
