I am now on the Board of Directors for the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.
I was elected Region 2 Director. The region covers from Maine to New Jersey and is the biggest of NAHJ’s eight regions.
I ran for the board because I am committed to NAHJ and its goals. I literally would not be where I am today if not for my involvement with NAHJ. I was a member of the 2003 Student Campus, had the honor of being named the 2007 Emerging Journalist of the Year and held the position of vice president for print/new media of NAHJ Boston during our founding year (2008-2009).
Through NAHJ, I have made many valuable connections – professionally (most notably my position at The News-Sentinel and my work for ESPN.com) and personally (I met my husband at the 2006 convention).
I look forward to having the chance to give back to the organization that has helped shape not just my career, but my life. I hope to help facilitate such experiences for other journalists, both young and experienced.
