From interviewing several Argentine military officers who were active during the “Dirty War” of the late 1970s to covering the Gilets Jaunes in Paris to interviewing Pablo Escobar's son, I started out in journalism as a high school student when I made a 10-minute video about the drug war’s violence in Monterrey, Mexico in the late 2000s.
I've been on that adventure ever since reporting for local (The Stamford Advocate), national (Forbes) and international outlets (El Heraldo, El Universal, The Yomiuri Shimbun) and newswires (Law360).
I’m currently a carbon markets editor at OPIS, a Dow Jones company, in London. As a freelancer, I cover the state of politics in the U.K., I review books and films that focus on Latin America and I write reports and white papers on a number of topics ranging from the consumer sector to artificial intelligence.
I’m a Harvard and Oxford graduate; my 127-page undergraduate thesis was nominated for the Hoopes and Hammond Prizes. I completed my master's degree at the University of Oxford in 2021 with merit in Latin American Studies. I was an editorial member of the Latin American Centre’s Horizontes newsletter and the Wolfson College representative for the university’s Media Society.
I speak Spanish, Français, and Italian — hit me up for translation or interpretation work.
