I am a Marine Corps veteran and journalist based in Washington, D.C./Maryland/Virginia area.

I am the veteran reporter for Stars and Stripes, covering the Department of Veterans Affairs and veteran issues. While my work is predominately in writing, I take photos and videos for my stories from time to time. Previously, I was the general assignment reporter for the Houston Business Journal, where I wrote breaking news and covered various industries in the Greater Houston area.

I am on the advisory board for Military Veterans in Journalism, a professional non-profit that assists and guides veterans in their journalism careers. I also serve as the secretary for the Houston Association of Hispanic Media Professionals (HAHMP).

I worked as a staff writer at the Herald-Zeitung in New Braunfels, Texas. During my time there, I wrote breaking news and features on the New Braunfels community and covered the New Braunfels Independent School District.

My work has been featured in Houstonia, Washington Post, Google/Pop-Up Magazine’s 2021 Year in Search Magazine, Mitú, and Task and Purpose.
