About Me
I grew up in Silverdale, Washington seeing my family’s country, Venezuela, become destroyed by socialism. Because of this, freedom and prosperity have been my passion for most my life.
At the University of Washington, I worked with Turning Point USA and Young Americans for Liberty to promote conservative and libertarian ideas on campus.
My goal is to be a cultural and political commentator in conservative media to reach young people and the Hispanic community for values that lead to human flourishing. Take me on as part of your media team to reach the world with conservative news and commentary in English and Español!
"I want to fight and win against destructive ideologies."
