Reporter, Report for America Corps memberAs the Canyon County reporter, I cover the Latina/o/x communities and agricultural hub of the Treasure Valley. I’m super invested in local journalism and social equity, and very grateful to be working in Idaho.
When not at work, you can probably find me biking around looking for unpasteurized cheese. Generally, I like to listen to podcasts, talk about podcasts or recommend podcasts to people who did not ask me for podcast recommendations.
If you have a tip (or podcast recommendation) please shoot me an email.
