Avery Escamilla-Wendell

My name is Avery Escamilla-Wendell, I am a Multimedia Journalist at The University of Texas at El Paso who understands the power of resilience and strength of marginalized voices. Growing up in the borderland, has instilled in me a passion for shedding light on untold stories, championing diverse perspectives, and sharing the stories of underrepresented communities. As the current  Editor-in-Chief at The Prospector and Audience and Engagement Intern at Puente News Collaborative, I thrive on writing stories that capture the truth about immigration, the U.S. Border Region, and the voices in my community.
