Luciana Perez Uribe Guinassi

Luciana Perez Uribe Guinassi was born in Lima, Peru, but spent her childhood living between the Peruvian coast, the tumultuous city of Lima, and a quiet suburb in Ohio. Her multicultural background sparked her curiosity in learning about different worldviews. Most recently, she reported on federal and state gaps in COVID-19 protections for legal migrant seafood workers. She has also written about housing, student affairs, climate change and the 2020 presidential election. She is the 2021 Roy W. Howard fellow at Searchlight and received her master’s degree in journalism from the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland.
