(my first name is pronounced like ruhr-ree)
Until recently, I was an associate editor at POLITICO Magazine, which I first joined as an editorial intern in 2016. There, I wrote on subjects such as youth climate activism, criminal justice reform, a senator's intellectual formation and more. And I edited stories on the Latinos in Texas who swung for Trump, the first Native American Cabinet secretary and the immigrant detention centers that became Covid hotspots across the rural South, to name just a few. I also oversaw the magazine's production and factchecking, and I managed the magazine's internship program, among other responsibilities.
Previously, I worked briefly at Vox.com, covering energy and the environment, and in college, I launched and led a student magazine that published one of the best pieces of local reporting of 2017 according to Longreads. Born and raised in Los Angeles, I’m a proud member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists and a dual Irish citizen.
