I am a junior at the University of Houston double majoring in media production and public relations. After studying multimedia storytelling and photography at Texas Tech, and participating in the on-campus radio show there, I\u2019ve built on that experience at UH, studying electronic field production, nonlinear editing and public relations writing. I produce digital journalism with The Daily Cougar magazine and personal projects while I work toward my double degrees.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a proud Latina and first-generation college student who aspires to make a change in the media world. My goal is to create diversity in mainstream media and to have more minorities involved in the creative process. I believe it\u2019s important to have different perspectives to create an accurate representation of a story. I want to use my passion for journalism and media production to be a bilingual news producer and create content that is innovative, engaging and inclusive. I love to express myself through art, whether it\u2019s making videos, photography, painting or drawing.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was born in Mexico City and my parents emigrated to the United States when I was just seven months old. With the support of my family, I graduated from the University of Houston with a bachelor\u2019s degree in media production and an associate\u2019s degree in Spanish. The main reason why I decided to study media production is because I want to share my creativity with the public. Moreover, it allows me to create content that entertains or informs people in many communities.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve recently started telling people that I am a storyteller instead of listing every single thing I do. The mediums in which I tell stories though are through film, photography, and writing journalism, scripts, and poems. Ever since I joined my current publication I’ve striven to take different angles and ideas to stories that are known, unknown, and underrepresented. As a military kid from Los Angeles I’ve seen a lot and I intend to have all of it rise to the surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am a first-generation Latino student who cares about politics in local, state and federal government. An issue with no clear answer that interests me is the crushing reality of student debt. In these times media seems to be held to more accountability than our government.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am a senior at Sam Houston State University and an aspiring multimedia journalist who is looking to perfect the craft of ethical journalism. I am a big sports fanatic, with all of my favorite teams being from Houston, and am also a huge video game nerd. Sports and games aside, I take school very seriously. My big goal is to graduate summa cum laude in spring of 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n
