Experience
I joined Boise State Public Radio in 2022 as the Canyon County reporter through Report for America, to report on the growing Latino community in Idaho. I am very invested in listening to people’s different perspectives and I am very grateful to those who are willing to share their stories with me. It’s a privilege and I do not take it for granted.
I started this job, my first full-time position in journalism, a couple of weeks before the repeal of Roe v. Wade and have been covering the local implications of Idaho’s changing legal landscape ever since and the impacts it has had on the state.
