I’m a bilingual investigative journalist and writer based in Chicago. I’m currently an immigration reporter at Chicago Public Media, reporting for the Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ, where I cover immigration enforcement, the legal system and the connections between Chicago’s immigrant communities and global events.

Previously, I covered immigration at South Side Weekly, MindSite News and palabra. I also worked as a global health misinformation writer and fact-checker for a UNICEF initiative and as a digital producer at Univision Chicago.

My work has appeared in The Guardian, Reveal, Crain’s Chicago Business, and other outlets.

I was a 2019 City Bureau Civic Reporting Fellow and studied English and philosophy.
