I am Next City and El Paso Matters' joint Equitable Cities Reporting Fellow for Borderland Narratives. I have been a local news reporter since 2012. I've also worked as a freelance reporter, photographer, restaurant owner and chef. Born and raised in Juarez, El Paso became my home when I moved there in the seventh grade.
