Marina Peña
My background: I immigrated to Los Angeles as a child from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and have spent many years working as a journalist in LA, covering a wide range of communities and issues.
What I do: I’m a reporter for The LA Local, focusing on Koreatown, Pico Union, and Westlake. Most days, you’ll find me out in the field, looking for stories that matter to the community.
Why LA: The vibrant immigrant communities, the food, the sense of belonging, and of course, the weather.
The best way to contact me: My email is marina@thelalocal.org.
