Jasmine Aguilera to Visit San Diego State University

2024 StoryReach U.S. Fellow Jasmine Aguilera will visit San Diego State University on Tuesday, February 25, 2025. Aguilera will meet with students in a bilingual reporting class and deliver a keynote presentation.

She is a contributor to the project A Poisoned Community, which examines why lead poisoning remains prevalent in Latino immigrant communities in Oakland, despite local lawmakers' awareness of the dangerous contaminant and the millions of dollars in funding available to fix the problem.

Aguilera is a senior health equity reporter and editor at El Tímpano, a California Bay Area nonprofit newsroom covering the region’s Latino and Mayan immigrant communities. 

Prior, she covered Congress and immigration for TIME Magazine, working from New York City, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. Her work has appeared in KFF Health News, Univision, The New York Times, the Dallas Morning News, and others.
