Articles
Here are my top three publications. For a full list, click here.
SPANISH: "Los precios altos de los huevos impulsan a residentes a comprar gallinas"
(High egg prices prompt residents to buy chickens)
I consider this story one of my top publications because I pitched it to my team after experiencing high egg prices. This affected everyone locally. I showed up to a business where chickens are sold and asked for an interview. This story made it front cover and I received a lot of good feedback from my colleagues.

"Get 2 know Texas Olympians heading to Tokyo to compete in track & field"
As history was unfolding at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, I researched and wrote about Texas Olympians. This story was used by KPRC's reporters as a reference during their time in Tokyo. Through this article I learned how quick digital information can reach its audience compared to traditional methods.
SPANISH: "Los peligros del fentanilo: Una sobreviviente comparte su testimonio"
(The Dangers of Fentanyl: A Survivor Shares Her Testimony)
This story reflects the power of social media. In my attempt to speak about the issues of drug overdose, I looked for a source who would share their story to help readers connect. After researching, I found a source on social media, through hashtags, who was able to speak about her experience and how she overcame addiction.
