Being a Latino, I first got into radio because I was always interested in hearing stories, or chisme (Spanish for "gossip"), being shared at the dinner table among family. I liked being to up to date with what was going on with different family members and whether or not we liked the new boyfriend/girlfriend. The passion for storytelling led me to pursue radio production at San Francisco State University. I majored in broadcasting communications (BECA).
I recently graduated from KALW's Audio Academy. I learned how to turn my interests (such as drag shows, comics, music) into features with social value. Through the program, I learned my strongest field for creating stories comes from the arts community. As a side project, I cohost a podcast called the "Comics Sauce Podcast." We talk all things geeky and keep up with media productions that are trending.
Working in audio I am a behind-the-scenes kind of person. I love audio editing, pitching story ideas, reaching out and booking guests, social media outreach, writing blogs; however, from time to time I like being in front of the mic to report with sass & class.
