So honored that my work has been cited in two very different books since last year. ✨

– John C. Maxwell’s High Road Leadership (2024), a book shaping leaders around the world.
– Eleanor Johnson’s Scream With Me (Simon & Schuster, 2025), exploring horror films and the rise of American feminism.

Since I've spent a lot of time thinking about teeth this past month and struggling with my own fears, I wrote about it in my latest Newsletter!

I haven't hung out here in a bit, but I have a poem published today by The Lindenwood Review that I'm especially proud of. My sincerest gratitude to the editors—this one is especially close to my heart. ❤️

How Spanish fluency became a competitive business advantage As the US Latino population booms – and with it, its economic impact – Spanish is becoming an essential tool for workers and businesses alike to get ahead.

Honored to share this story I was assigned by @BBC for #HispanicHeritageMonth about how Spanish fluency is now seen as an advantage in the business world. Proud to include many sources who bravely shared their stories of overcoming stigma and thriving in their new careers. bbc.in/3RIrYSh

Why 'The Bear' Is So Triggering For Many Of Us The Hulu series offers a representation that often goes unnoticed.

I watched "The Bear" and had some big feelings. Honored to share my first ever culture-focused essay where I write about how the show humanizes survivors of suicide loss for @HuffPost. bit.ly/3PujThl

Being a journalist on a dating app is wild y’all. Do people still just randomly meet at used book stores? Sign me up for that

Feels surreal to share, but my Tiny Love Story's in the NYT Sunday Print edition! I can't help but feel that my big bro is looking down at me and feeling what I feel. Having his pic and my Abuelita's here means the world to me and I am so very grateful ❤❤❤
