Focus I focus on producing documentaries and broadcast programs that tell stories of Latino communities and Latinos living in the United States. These stories are often untold in the mainstream media. I primarily focus on documentary television productions.
How did you develop your expertise? Years of working as a Professional Journalist, years in Academia, and the experiential knowledge that comes with being the daughter of a Latin-American immigrant and as a result oppotunity for student to buy lab report online that have been written with the utmost professionalism.

What Keeps You Up At Night? I’m often kept up wondering if work about Latino communities in the U.S. is truly understood. I hope that everyone in this country can one day appreciate the importance and potential of the growing Latino population living here.
Are You a Wonk? Yes, I am a wonk. Like most journalists and documentarians, I’m fearless. I am also untiring; I can shoot in the field, or sit and edit, for 15+ hours and the time will fly by. I love teaching my students how to produce television news and documentary in a responsible way.
