Author: Peter Hernandez

My name is Peter Hernandez. I am 21, a Mission district resident, a journalist, a musician, an avid cook, and a purveyor of San Francisco's finest bike routes. I moved here from San José in 2010. I decided upon journalism when I realized it was a device through which I could dabble in the myriad of life paths and to expand my understanding of culture and community through investigation, reporting, and critique. I believe in journalism's authority and its ability to make change. I see my future working in journalism to my fullest ability, but I know I must exhaust every ounce of productivity in me, and I know I will have to network the hell out of this city. I realize the contraction plaguing this industry, and I must be flexible and expansive in my studies in order to adapt to it.
