I’m a podcast producer, writer, and brand consultant.
Most recently, I produced season 2 of Becoming An Icon, a podcast about the stories and legacies of Latinx musical stars, for iHeart.
Previously, I developed and produced audio fiction, nonfiction, and always-on programming for Sonoro Global Media. I also pitched and executed custom podcasts and multi-platform ad campaigns with Slate for clients like Target, MailChimp, and Mozilla, and was Gear Patrol ’s lead copy editor. Get in Touch →
Multicultural. Multi-Platform. Multi-Discipline.
AUDIO ORIGINALS
I wrote and produced season 2 of Becoming An Icon, a hybrid music biography chat show hosted by Emmy-winning TV host Lilliana Vazquez and red carpet makeup artist Joseph Carrillo.
Over 36 episodes, I condensed 100+ hours of research into biographical storytelling with comedic “radio play” scenes, running jokes, and prompted chat sections. LISTEN HERE
**Signal Award Nominee**
In El Humo, a murder investigation unearths a campaign by the Salvadoran government to cover up kidnappings and silence journalists. This podcast was originally reported in Spanish and adapted to English for a bilingual release.
I provided localization and sensitivity notes on working scripts. From gruesome details to political topics specific to El Salvador’s government, I identified themes and moments in need of more context and clarity for English-speaking listeners. LISTEN HERE
**Amby Award Winner**
Previa: A Tech Heist is an audio fiction heist tale that pits the haves vs. the have-nots, starring Alan Cumming as a megalomaniac CEO and Melissa Fumero as a vengeful ex-employee.
I translated, localized and punched up two episodes (Spanish to English) and reviewed auditions for principal and secondary roles, working within a small team to build the final cast. LISTEN HERE
BRANDED CAMPAIGNS
How do activists use the internet to create change? In this Webby-nominated custom website for Mozilla, we answered that question with video interviews, illustrations, and a long-form article focused on activists in three areas: police reform, prison reform, and trans rights. I devised the concept, wrote the pitch, and led production for Slate.com.
Target wanted to be of service to parents during the first back-to-school season since the Covid lockdowns. So I devised a three-episode series in Slate’s advice podcast How To! where host Charles Duhigg helped answer parents’ many questions and calm their nerves about the strange school year ahead.

Three years running, I copy edited, proofread, and wrote for this annual top 100 roundup of consumer product picks.

Published by Gear Patrol in partnership with Fitbit, Eddie Bauer and more.
