As Mirror Indy's westside neighborhood reporter, I cover issues that matter to people living on the west side.
I was a U.S. Marine combat correspondent before becoming a photojournalist from KRGV in deep south Texas. I was later a founding journalist for the Indiana Environmental Reporter.
In my free time, I like to play guitar and watch The Simpsons with my daughter.
I decided to be part of this team because traditional media is missing a lot of stories important to Indianapolis residents. With Mirror Indy, we can dig deeper into what people care about.
My phone number is 317-983-4203 and my email address is enrique.saenz@mirrorindy.org.
