My Journalism Background
I have several years of professional experience reporting on citywide issues, public safety updates, government announcements, and unfolding events across Los Angeles. My background includes newsroom reporting, on-the-ground coverage, and digital publishing, with a strong emphasis on verification, clarity, and speed without sacrificing accuracy.
I believe local journalism is the backbone of an informed society, and I take that responsibility seriously in every story I report.
What I Cover
At News of Los Angeles, my reporting primarily focuses on:
-
Breaking News across Los Angeles
-
Local government decisions and city policies
-
Community-impacting events
-

-
Developing stories that affect everyday residents
My goal is to provide readers not just the headlines, but the context and facts they need to stay informed.
Professional Approach
I follow ethical journalism standards, rely on verified sources, and prioritize transparency in my reporting. Whether covering a fast-moving breaking story or a developing local issue, I strive to present information clearly and responsibly.
Beyond the Newsroom
Outside of journalism, I enjoy exploring Los Angeles neighborhoods, photography, staying active through running and hiking, and keeping up with media innovation and digital storytelling trends. These interests help me stay connected to the city and the people I report on.
