I’m a writer, journalist, and editor with experience in reporting, interviewing, research, and newsroom leadership. At Loyola Marymount University, I worked for the Los Angeles Loyolan as a News Intern, Assistant Editor, and ultimately News Editor, where I led a team of six reporters while continuing to report and write stories of my own.
My work has covered campus news, education, student life, entertainment, and broader issues affecting the LMU community. As News Editor, I assigned and edited stories, worked with reporters throughout the reporting process, interviewed sources, fact-checked coverage, and helped manage breaking and developing stories on deadline.
In May 2025, I received the Loyolan Merit Scholarship in recognition of my work and leadership at the newspaper.
Below is a selection of my published reporting and editorial work.
