I’m a Los Angeles-based journalist who primarily covers justice and security issues.
I currently work as a reporter for the legal news service Law360.
Previously, I was based in Medellín, Colombia and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where I worked as senior editor and contributing writer for InSight Crime, the leading source of news and analysis on organized crime in the Americas.
My reporting and anaylsis has been published at various outlets including VICE News, Vox, Jacobin magazine, LobeLog and others, and I have appeared on several broadcast programs to discuss my work.
I earned a master’s degree in U.S. foreign policy and national security from American University and a bachelor’s degree in journalism and international studies from the University of Miami. I speak English, Spanish and Portuguese.
