What I Cover
I’m an investigative reporter who works with communities to uncover what’s really going on behind their experiences. I mostly cover issues and stories related to health and the environment. I speak and can report in Spanish.
My Background
Since joining ProPublica in 2019, I have reported on the health impacts of air quality and the ins and outs of the health insurance industry, examined aggressive medical debt collection practices, and investigated evictions and cities’ approaches to homelessness. I’ve worked with residents to monitor air quality and to collect real-time reactions to air pollution, and I’ve worked with patients to crowdsource health insurance denials and medical bills.
The impact of this journalism includes state lawmakers introducing bills to address health insurance denials and evictions that can lead to criminal chargers, companies changing course on medical debt collection practices, health insurance denials and air quality controls, and federal regulators launching investigations.
This work, done in collaboration with colleagues, has been recognized as a Pulitzer Prize finalist and honored with multiple Gather Awards in Engaged Journalism and Gerald Loeb Awards, among others.
