Soy mujer de herencia caribeña, de ojos grandes y piel canela. Nacida en los Estados Unidos de América, sigo en esta profesión porque me persigue desde 2012, cuando comencé a dejar huellas con mi periodismo en la región norte de República Dominicana.
Me dedico al periodismo de comunidades, en especial sobre salud transnacional, iniciativas de microeconomía y los movimientos de liderazgo bicultural. Exploro la complejidad de las experiencias latinas y las relaciones de la gente que vive en las Américas, las diásporas y sus descendientes estadounidenses.
I’m a journalist who focuses on the complex transnational experiences that Latinos face in the U.S. and around the Americas, caring most about the communities’ access to health care, food, jobs, green spaces, business development, education and leadership skills.
Anchored in listening and engagement tactics, my journalism aims to impact the lives of bilingual Latinos by centering their experiences, positioning them in the larger contexts of society, empowering them to act or mobilize, and by fostering a sense of belonging that builds on purpose.
I’ve produced multimedia work for mainstream news media and community news media in print, broadcast, digital and messaging platforms the last 13 years.
Eager to build on my own news products, I’ve trained in editorial content production, news media leadership, resource management, audience engagement and development, business structure, and branding.
