I am the Logan Square, Humboldt Park and Avondale reporter for Block Club Chicago. I was previously the inaugural Far Northwest Side reporter for Block Club between 2021-2023. Before joining Block Club full time, I freelanced for the Chicago Reader, WTTW News, Streetsblog Chicago, Eater Chicago and have been published in Insider, Chicago Tribune, Latino USA, Univision Chicago, Curbed, Newcity and more.
I am originally from New Mexico and a first-generation Italian-American. My work focuses on communities, social justice, arts and culture, immigration, development and more. I attended Columbia College and graduated with a bachelor's degree in multimedia journalism in 2017. Outside of journalism, I love to bike, cook, read and say hello to other people's dogs.
