I'm a journalism and economics student learning more and more about how the world works every day. After spending two years at the Annenberg School for Journalism covering everything from the film industry to university life, I finally found my niche with socio economic issues affecting underrepresented groups in our global economy. I figured that if I only get one shot at this life, I might as well write about a subject matter that speaks to me.

I decided to pursue a career in journalism after four years of working on my high school's newspaper. Initially, I joined the newspaper class because it was an easy A and I knew it wouldn't look half-bad on college applications. That all changed after my first by-line. The immense happiness I received from sharing someone else's story with the help of the written word was incomparable to anything I had felt up to that point. Since then, I have had the pleasure of meeting and sharing the stories of some of the most incredible individuals, everyone from up-and-coming graffiti artists to civil rights activists and Olympians.

Every time someone asks me where I'm from, I slowly begin my rant about Argentina and my thoughts on its government, people and culture. I grew up in small town in the capital of Buenos Aires called Liniers. My first language was Spanish or as we Argentinians like to call it "Castellano". Being from a country where "El Diego" is synonymous with God and Lionel Messi is the messiah, I am naturally a big soccer fan. With the exception of my mother (who insists River Plate is "lo mas"), everyone in my family is a supporter of the soccer team Boca Juniors.

Living in Argentina, I was introduced to a spectrum ruled by extremes. I was able to see great poverty and immense wealth all within a few streets of each other. As I began to delve into the reasons for such disparity, I concluded that several entities are to blame (the national government, multi-national companies and foreign interests) for the rising level of misery experienced by many natives.

When I first arrived in the United States, Los Angeles to be exact, I thought that my days of seeing extreme poverty on the streets were over. A little naive of me, I now realize. Walking the streets of Downtown LA, I saw homeless people living next to bus stops, tents on the sides of bridges and children walking to their local church for their daily food ration. This was not the glitz and glamour I envisioned.

Seeing places like Skid Row so close to neighborhoods like Bel-Air and Beverly Hills just like back home in Buenos Aires led me to focus my writing on socio economic issues. Along the way, I have written about homelessness, the foster care system, immigration and many other related subjects. Some of the media outlets I have written for include Annenberg Media, The Huffington Post, Los Angeles magazine and the Southern California News Group. I am thrilled to continue improving my storytelling skills with the help of new forms of multimedia and coding.

When I'm not writing or catching up with the news, I am eating an empanada, hiking, watching "la albiceleste", reading or dragging my roommates around to new Latin American restaurants.
