Multimedia bilingual journalist from the El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, México region. I have worked at multiple English-language and Spanish-language publications in Los Angeles, California, New York City, and in the cities of El Paso and Dallas in Texas. My background makes me uniquely qualified to cover issues regarding the Latino community in the United States. My current goal is to obtain a challenging and rewarding career as a  new media journalist, where I can contribute my hard work ethic to meet the needs of an evolving communications market, particularly in our expanding digital world and global economy.
