CURRENT TEAM

Guille Quiroz

My name is Guille Quiroz, I’m originally from Guadalajara, Mexico. I work in the healthcare area as a medical interpreter at the University of New Mexico Cancer Center. News is part of my life to help me understand my surroundings and the world. I realized when I was young that news and media are strong powers that influence our thoughts both culturally and socio-politically; they have been manipulated and most times they don’t cover perspectives of our communities’ struggles. This is why I participate in ‘Tu Voz Digital’, to contribute in giving strength to the voice of our immigrant community within Encuentro.
