I report on culture, the arts, gender, health, mental health, immigration, and lifestyle, with a focus on deeply reported stories that explore how people navigate identity, community, and social change. My work sits at the intersection of reporting and audience engagement: I use listening sessions, community events, and direct conversations with audiences to identify underreported stories, build trust with sources, and better understand the information needs of the communities I cover.
I see audience engagement as an extension of the reporting process rather than a separate function. In addition to reporting, I develop strategies and participatory formats—such as listening parties, focus groups, and open newsroom conversations—that strengthen connections between news organizations and their audiences.
I hold an M.A. in Bilingual Journalism and Arts and Culture Reporting from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism (CUNY). And two bachelor's degrees: one in Social Communication and the other in Literary Studies from Javeriana University (Bogotá, Colombia).
