I am an award-winning journalist and documentarian, focusing on compelling storytelling, cultural exchange, and amplifying diverse voices. In 2024, I graduated from Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication with a degree in journalism and a minor in film and media production from the ASU Sidney Poitier New American Film School. Additionally, I received an honors degree from Barrett, the Honors College at ASU. 
​
Along with my studies, I worked at ICT News, formerly Indian Country Today, where I contributed to a Native-majority newsroom and covered communities worldwide. I worked at every level of the newscast to plan, script, write, and edit news packages. I set up the studio and helped in the control room during the filming of the newscast. I helped create language segments sharing the Ute Language. I take pride in covering Indigenous communities because of my Ute and Genizaro Heritage.
​​
I also worked at the Howard Center for Investigative Journalism as an Indigenous Affairs Reporter and Documentary Producer.​ There, I worked on the Lithium Liabilities project, which covered the impacts of lithium mining on the climate and Indigenous communities. I also helped create a documentary that was aired on PBS Newshour. I helped with the main story that focused on the impacts of lithium mining on water, which was run in USA Today, the Tucson Sentinel, and many others. 
​
Focusing on global issues, I helped found Current Foreign Affairs and International Reporting at Cronkite, where I edited and wrote stories on broad topics. I also helped create a radio program to give students hands-on broadcast experience, reporting on international topics. Joining the RIAS Berlin Commission student program in 2023 helped my knowledge of German politics and culture. 
​
In 2024, I was selected for the U.S. Department of State’s Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange program, giving me the opportunity to live, study, and work in Germany. During my 11-month fellowship, I attended the University of Cologne and participated in language and cultural training at the Carl Duisburg Center in Saarbrucken.
