Although I was born in the bay area, I grew up in Wrightwood, a small town in Southern California; I escaped to San Francisco as soon as opportunity afforded itself and recently graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in Psychology. I consider myself to be an independent journalist and a filmmaker.

My first experience in the field of journalism came in my senior year of high school working on the school newspaper. After graduating high school, I briefly wrote for UC Santa Barbara’s Daily Nexus before taking an Internship at the Santa Barbara Independent where I worked for about six months writing blurbs for the news department.

After moving to San Francisco, I’ve been actively contributing articles and video reports for my blog as well as Indymedia. I have also written for the Haight Ashbury Beat.

I’m currently employed as the Outreach Director for peralta.TV, a department of the Peralta Community College District, and I am also an SAT teacher for the Kaplan Test preparation company.
