Cofounder & Executive Director
Borderless Magazine

As a visionary media leader, Nissa transformed Borderless Magazine—a nonprofit and nonpartisan news outlet reimagining immigration journalism—from a blog to a nationally recognized, award-winning newsroom with nine full-time employees.

Throughout her career as a journalist, Nissa has been driven by the belief that journalists can and must do a better job of serving everyday people. She brings empathy and compassion to Borderless as it continues its vital work elevating immigrant voices and nurturing the next generation of diverse journalists.
