I first stepped into the KUNM studios in 2002 with DJ Mello on an overnight freeform show. I knew right then and there KUNM would be a part of my life for a long time to come. Since that first overnight show, I've been the broadcast engineer for Native America Calling, substitute host for Morning Edition, occasional Freeform DJ, and have served as KUNM's Operations Manager since 2016. I graduated UNM in 2003 with a degree in Latin American Studies and Spanish, and attended the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies in Portland, Maine in 2007.
