What I Cover

I write on a wide range of topics, including company earnings, financial markets and legal issues.

My Background

Before joining The Times in 2023, I worked as a reporter at Bloomberg Law covering labor and employment. I previously covered litigation at Law360 and politics at The Hill and The Texas Tribune.

I’m a graduate of The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, where I studied journalism and environmental sciences. I am originally from the Texas/Mexico border and now live in New York City.

Journalistic Ethics

All Times journalists are committed to upholding the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook. My goal in every story is for it to be fair and accurate. I do not accept gifts or favors from sources. I also do not actively trade any investments; my retirement savings are held in broad index funds that I don’t directly control.
