It's a real treat to be able to tell stories in a city that I've adopted as my home. My background is television news photojournalism. I've worked in big markets, like Phoenix and Los Angeles. Before returning to El Paso, I worked as a freelance videographer for clients like CNN, Access Hollywood, KABC, and KCAL.
Once back in El Paso, I had the opportunity to create my own feature segment for the local ABC affiliate. That segment won a 2nd place Associated Press Award and launched my career as a reporter. I also spent a year reporting for the local NBC affiliate. Now, I've found a home at KFOX-14, and I'm proud to be apart of the strongest news team in El Paso.
