Objective
I am currently a freelance bilingual reporter/producer who is looking to learn more about opportunities at a media outlet where I can provide enterprising, thought-provoking coverage. I want to work on stories that make a difference and get people talking. I'd love to contribute my broadcast and digital experience, skills and specialized knowledge to the team. The ideal company will allow me to apply my political, business and general assignment reporting and producing experience for depth. I'd also love to be able to put my Spanish skills and love for storytelling to good use to inform, engage and inspire audiences across multiple platforms.Education:
