The stories behind the storefronts
I'm a high school journalist currently exploring freelance writing. Right now, I'm reporting on the small businesses that keep the San Gabriel Valley running — how local owners are adapting, surviving, and building community in today's economy. This site is the home base for all of my published work and freelance reporting.

SGV Small Business Series

Reporting from Alhambra & San Gabriel — July 2026
Reporting from the ground up.
I'm a dedicated high school journalist focused on capturing the stories that don't always make the front page. My background in news reporting and investigative stories has shaped my commitment to documenting the stories that often go untold, particularly within the San Gabriel Valley's small business landscape.
Currently, I am actively pitching freelance pieces to regional publications and am eager to connect with seasoned journalists for shadowing opportunities. I value professional tips and insights on navigating the evolving landscape of digital and print media.
