From San Antonio to S.B.
Though born and raised in San Antonio, Texas — “My heart will always be there,” she promised — Camille Garcia recently moved to Santa Barbara for a new job and to be closer to her sister and the sea. For the past few months, she’s been covering Latinx culture as a freelancer for the Independent, including this week’s interview with Juana Flores . She tells us more about herself below.
What’s your journalism background? After getting my bachelor’s in journalism, I worked as a reporter and assistant editor for nearly two years at a San Antonio news startup. I covered everything from Latinx affairs to local government to urban development. It was a grind! I’ve been freelancing ever since.
