Welcome

I'm a professional story-teller with 25 years of experience reporting in cities on the West Coast--from San Diego to Seattle. I currently work for ABC7 News in San Francisco.

REPORTING

ON TV AND ONLINE

I'm passionate about sharing stories that uplift our communities, remind us of what is possible, and give our underserved communities a voice. I am proficient in Spanish, Chinese, and Vietnamese and often report on stories about our ethnic communities, small business, as well as business/technology/trade and commerce.
