SIERRA JUAREZ
Student Journalist
ABOUT ME
I am a student journalist at The University of Texas who specializes in written and audio story telling. I study journalism with an emphasis in reporting on Latin America. I've interned with The Texas Tribune, the Austin American-Statesman, Austin's NPR affiliate station and the San Antonio Current. I'm also a fellow for NPR's Next Generation Radio. When I'm not in school or reporting, I can be found reading or cooking family recipes.
