About Me
​
I served as president of the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) at the University of Central Florida from Fall 2021 to Spring 2022 and remain a member of the national organization. I've also been a member of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ), Her Campus at UCF, the Tau Sigma National Honor Society, and the Association of Independents in Radio (AIR). I was a Dean's List student since late 2020 and received the Excellence in Action Award from the Multicultural Academic & Support Services Office at UCF.
​
Past engagements include investigative and data journalism work through an internship with the Mississippi Center for Investigative Reporting, a Florida Newsroom project with NPR's NextGenRadio, and an internship at WMFE 90.7 for their Intersection program. I reported and produced for UCF publications Knightly News, Nicholson Student Media Today, and The Late Knight Show. I also worked as an Associate Producer at WESH 2 News, Central Florida's NBC affiliate news station. I currently do freelance writing and editing, from more personal undertakings to confidential, groundbreaking projects with leading social platforms.
