Hello! I am a Broadcast Journalism student in my junior year at the University of Central Florida specializing in electronic news with a minor in Spanish and International and Global Studies. I plan to graduate in the Fall of 2024 and hope to become an MMJ reporter! My most recent internship was with WESH 2 News in Orlando, where I was a producing intern as well as an associate producer, running prompter for all the night-side shows and assisting producers with stacking rundowns, writing scripts, and doing graphics for their shows. I am a reporter for The Charge On Air and The Charge News, covering all sorts of stories happening on campus. I am also responsible for fund management and club organization as treasurer and secretary of UCF's National Association of Hispanic Journalists, while continuously reporting, editing scripts, video, and audio for NAHJ's webcast, Knightly Latino. As someone who is passionate about storytelling, it is an essential part of being human. Journalism is not only storytelling but also knowledge sharing.

As it’s my last week at my internship with @wesh2 I’ve been reflecting on the incredible past couple months here! I’ve had SO many learning opportunities with great people and I can’t believe it’s coming to a close 😭 I don’t want it to end 🥹💙

here’s some pictures on what I’ve been up to here! I’ve gotten a taste of everything which I love - I shadowed assignment desk, I’ve been out on the field with reporters, I saw how things run on the digital side of WESH and I’ve been in the control room with producers to see how it is to actually run a news show! I even have been trusted to step up as associate producer for the last month of my internship to run prompter and help producers get their show done by writing scripts for the night-side shows! 🥳

Thank you so so much for inviting us, I had a dream come true seeing my country’s feminine fútbol team play (and win :p) 🇨🇴 It was also my first time attending a sports press conference and it was so cool to see how it goes down. I learned so much and got to meet amazing new people, I’m so happy I got to experience this with my ucf nahj fam 🩵
