Biography

I'm an Emmy-nominated multilingual Chilean journalist, who holds a Master in Digital Media Innovation from New York University and a B.S. in Social Communication from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. I worked as a reporter and documentary fixer for Vice Media; as an international news reporter, senior editor and broadcaster for CNN Chile, and as a freelance reporter for BBC World Service (UK), El Mercurio (Chile) and Daily Trust (Nigeria). After moving to New York City in 2018, I worked with Documented, Axios and Quartz in projects that involved making audiences central to content creation and product development. I have also worked as a consultant for 5 Chilean small-sized newsrooms as they plan to launch membership revenue efforts.
