About Paulina
I'm a trilingual journalist and audio producer based in Los Angeles.
I was the editor of Season 1 of 100 Latina Birthdays, a documentary podcast about Latina health in the U.S., while at independent audio production house LWC Studios, where I oversaw daily operations and produced client and original podcasts for three years. Before that, I worked for Marketplace, Slate, KCRW, and other audio makers around Southern California.
I'm also a reporter, filing stories about immigration and Latinos for places like The Guardian.
