More about me
I'm new to audio, I have worked in different aspects of immigration (legal, organizing, and policy) over the years but have recently done a shift to media and journalism due to the lack of complexity and depth in the reporting of immigrant narratives. I am an undocumented immigrant myself and see this as an important time to be challenging the ways we share and tell narratives. I'm new to audio, but have taken some classes and am working on a couple projects that I hope to publish in the future.
