I am an independent journalist and educator based in Phoenix, Arizona but also open to moving for a new job. I am especially interested in moving to Madison, Wisconsin or to Portland, Oregon. Looking for a career in Immigrant Legal Defense, in translation (English - Spanish), in editing or reporting, or in Latin American Studies research. I was the 2018-2019 Web Editor for The North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA). In May 2019 I graduated from NYU's Glojo Program -- the Global and Joint Program Studies dual masters program at the NYU Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute and the NYU Center of Latin American and Caribbean Studies. I have studied the Andean Indigenous language of Quechua since October 2015, and have been awarded four Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowships from the U.S. Department of Education.My reporting on contemporary Peruvian and Bolivian politics has been published in The New Republic, Latin America News Dispatch, NPR's Latino USA, NPR's Latino Rebels, and the North American Congress on Latin America. I also have experience working as an experiential educator in the global education field. In May 2019 I started working for Where There Be Dragons as a South America Gap Semester Instructor. In December 2019 I was promoted to Course Director and designed one of the two Andes and Amazon Gap Semesters for Spring 2020. When instructing and directing for WTBD, I focus primarily on Indigenous politics, Bolivian and Peruvian historical and social movements, and history of U.S. interventionism in Latin America.
