USC Contributor

Daniela Gerson is the editor of the Alhambra Source. After reporting for newspapers and public radio from New York City, Europe, and Latin America, she moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to do a master’s degree in immigration journalism at USC. Now she spends her days looking for stories in Alhambra. So far, she has not been disappointed. In the past year Daniela has tried to learn Chinese and practiced tai chi in Alhambra Park, taken pilates at JayVee and one salsa class (with the intention of taking more) at La Granada, and is very grateful for the amazing Alhambra Civic Center library and its lovely staff.
