Welcome. Bienvenidos. 欢迎.

I'm a journalist based in New York City and staff writer at Newsweek covering national politics. I was born and raised in California speaking Spanish, Cantonese and English in that order, and previously worked at The Orange County Register, San Francisco Chronicle and San Francisco Examiner. Occasionally, I write about sports and travel. I've spent much of my professional career in Spanish-language media. I was the first Asian reporter for La Opinión, the largest Spanish-language newspaper in the U.S., and helped launch, write and produce for Time Warner Cable Deportes, the country's first regional sports network in Spanish. My award-winning work includes a series on an undocumented student whose deportation was blocked by Senator Dianne Feinstein, Latinos' struggle for political power in Compton and an evicted family who became the face of San Francisco's housing crisis. I've completed fellowships with The New York Times and Hearst Newspapers and my byline has appeared as far away as Ecuador. 谢谢. Gracias. Thank you for stopping by.
