I’m a Mexican-American investigative journalist and filmmaker based in California and Pennsylvania. I’m currently a co-founding producer with reverie documentaries, a production company dedicated to telling nonfiction, ambitiously-driven, journalistic documentaries and narratives that explore bold, untold stories about our world.

My feature documentary, “Keep Quiet and Forgive” will be available for broadcast and streaming on PBS’ Independent Lens on March 23, 2026. The documentary gives voice to Amish and Mennonite sexual abuse survivors who break their silence, challenge a deeply rooted culture of secrecy and demand accountability.

I previously worked as a producer at Univision, Fusion, and The Wall Street Journal. I have written for The Guardian, The Fuller Project, The New York Times, NPR, Cosmopolitan, Agence France-Presse, Type Investigations, and Latino USA, among others.

My approach to storytelling is based on deeply reported, accountability journalism and human-driven narratives. My specialty is long-form and investigative coverage—focused on gender issues, environmental justice, sexual violence, and Latin America.

At Agence France-Presse’s Mexico City bureau, I wrote a La Reforma story on Central American migrants' use of mobile technology to safeguard their journey to the U.S. At Univision, I co-produced a documentary on Mexico's underground sex-trafficking ring (English adaptation from Fusion's documentary, Pimp City). At Fusion, I produced hour-long episodes for the Netflix investigative series, The Naked Truth about radicals in Europe and sexual abuse in fraternities. I have reported throughout India, Italy, and Mexico.

I’m working on a book proposal based on my investigation into Amish sexual abuse, and am repped by CAA literary agency.

I completed my Master of Arts in multimedia journalism from UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism
and my bachelors in english from Chapman University.
