WHAT MAKES ME A JOURNALIST?
To me, journalism is above all a public service. This past year I've been on Capitol Hill as a congressional reporter and fellow for NOTUS. After spending my earlier career in local news, I found it incredibly meaningful to have such direct access to the lawmakers that make up our Democracy.
​
I used that access to work on investigations, such as my story detailing the extensive power of Henry Cuellar and his family in Laredo, Texas, and other work that peeled back the curtain in Washington, like some of my stories about the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and Donald Trump's "mass deportation" agenda.
​
I've spent my time in D.C. curating sources both on the Hill and off of it to keep pushing for details that add value for readers. I pride myself on finding unique angles to news of the day while also looking for opportunities to cover topics off-the-beaten path. While the audience I serve has changed at every outlet, I always keep them at the center of my reporting.
ABOUT ME

My journalism career has already taken me all over the country, from positions based in Missouri, California and D.C. to reporting trips that span Texas, Montana and New Hampshire. I'm able to adapt quickly to new environments and utilize my sourcing to turnout well-reported stories on day one.
​
I'm originally from Texas, and began reporting on the state's congressional delegation as my beat in my current role at NOTUS, but quickly expanded from there to more broadly cover immigration politics. I also pitched and reported out stories from all over the country, developing distinctive ideas and sourcing, even in races of high-national interest, such as the Montana Senate race.
