I'm a New York-based video journalist and writer. Currently, I’m a producer at CUNY TV, where I’ve worked with Brian Lehrer and crafted segments for DiverseCITY and other shows. My writing has appeared in Curbed NY, City Limits and elsewhere. My blogs Astoriapolis (formerly Corner of Astoria) and Queens Disco feature my writing and videos on local history, politics and land-use. As a filmmaker and editor, I covered a busy city council race in District 26: A New York Election Story and edited award-winning Cuba es mi Patria: the Homeland I Keep Inside. I'm a 2013 alum of the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism. You can check out my resume here.
