Carrera

Journalist. Researcher. Storyteller

I went into journalism because I love to learn. I like taking complex topics and writing the stories that can be understood by everyone. Journalism provides me the outlet to teach readers about topics that may not have been taught in school. Everyone deserves access to knowledge and the truth, and it is my job as a journalist to write those stories.

​

​

​

Ultimately, my goal is merge journalism with research to analyze the history that lead to the creation of ethnic groups being negatively portrayed and how that affects the way news is currently being covered. Furthermore, I want to write about how news coverage effects readers. I want to provide readers with the historical context of why news is being covered in that context and the effects rhetoric can have. I believe readers should be conscious how news is covered in relation to ethnic communities nationally and internationally.

The “Mexican School”: A History of Segregation in San Marcos

When Francisco Lucio Contreras Jr. was in the first grade, his teacher changed his name to Frank. She told him his given name was too long.

​

It was 1940 and Contreras was one of 600 students attending Southside School, where students were not allowed to speak Spanish and the 13 teachers only spoke English.
