Publications
I have always had a passion for writing. As a little girl, I would write short stories and even made my own version of a newspaper once. As I grew up, my passion turned into a career, and I chose to major in journalism in college. My writing has been published in multiple forms. See below to read some samples.
Opinion Columns
The Reveille
I started working as an opinion columnist with the student newspaper my sophomore year, and I worked there for eighteen months and have over 25 articles published. Some of my favorites include one on education, where I got to interview a member of the Louisiana Board of Education, and one I wrote on Hispanic heritage, where I got to share about my culture. Writing articles required me to research beforehand on the topic, contact and interview relevant sources, and write the articles following AP Style.​
Anthology
Acorn Publishing
In 2020, when the world was in lockdown, I connected with a publisher through Instagram. She was looking to publish an anthology relating women’s experiences during the pandemic around the globe. Being from Peru, I wrote about what it was like to experience lockdown there, and my story was published in the multicultural anthology.

Novel Writing
A Work in Progress
I love researching history and religion, and my current work in progress is a fiction novel that spans both genres. It's still a work in progress, but I hope one day it will become a published book.​
St. George beat -- articles
Work for my journalism capstone class
For my journalism capstone class, I had to choose a beat to report on. I decided to write articles on the newly created city of St. George in Baton Rouge.
Here is a link to an article on St. George residents and here is a link to an article about St. George's first mayoral race.
