I'm honored and excited to be back home in Houston. Growing up, it was almost a ritual to watch local news with my family at dinner time. That experience ignited a spark in me to one day inform and serve the community that shaped me.
As a first-generation Latina with roots in Mexico and Honduras, I'm passionate about telling stories that reflect the experiences of the people who call Houston home. Before joining KPRC 2, I worked as a multimedia journalist and anchor in the Rio Grande Valley and previously as a multimedia journalist in Watertown, New York. Along the way, I covered everything from immigration and economic development to education, infrastructure, affordability, and government accountability.
I've learned that communities want trustworthy information, transparency from their leaders, and solutions to the challenges they face. I also love shining a light on stories of success, resilience, and joy.
Whether I'm interviewing someone or meeting a viewer, I want it to feel less like talking to a reporter and more like talking to an old friend. Building trust and genuine human connection is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.
I'm a proud graduate of the The University of Texas at Austin (Hook 'em Horns!) and thrilled to be back serving the city I've always called home. Outside of the newsroom, you'll find me enjoying the outdoors, searching for a great cup of coffee, and cheering on the Astros and Texans.
