Hi! I’m an independent writer, editor, and fact-checker based broadly on the East Coast. Previously, I was a fact-checker at The Nation and a reporter for El Tecolote, San Francisco’s Latinx newspaper. I hold a degree in Ethnic Studies and International and Public Affairs from Brown, where I was managing editor of The College Hill Independent and an editor for SOMOS Literary Magazine. I speak Portuguese and Spanish fluently, and have experience reporting and writing in both languages.
