Biography
I brought my passion for journalism from my native Peru, where reading about the courageous efforts of journalists in remote regions deeply inspired me. These journalists, often risking their lives, banded together to uncover the truth. Their dedication planted the seed for my own journey into this career. The desire to be a voice for the voiceless and to uncover hidden stories has always driven me. Journalism is a field that keeps you humble, constantly engaged, and forever learning. This is why I love it. I will always be committed to amplifying the voices of the unheard and telling the stories of underrepresented communities.
I’m interested in everything, and nothing else.

The consequences of the cliff will vary across geographic regions and types of institutions, yet there’s widespread worry about its effect. How did higher ed get to this precipice? And what does it mean for students?
