I’m a journalist, editor and content strategist who produces and promotes investigative and explanatory reporting for maximum impact across media formats and platforms.

In April 2026, I founded the independent news outlet The Blanket, covering solutions and accountability in Colorado. Before that, I spent over a decade covering legal affairs, security and public policy as a reporter and editor for international news outlets.

As the deputy director of content at InSight Crime between 2022 and 2026, I oversaw and directly edited coverage of organized crime in Latin America and the Caribbean that won the global Ortega y Gasset journalism prize, Colombia’s Simón Bolívar National Journalism Prize, and an award from the Maria Moors Cabot Prizes at Columbia Journalism School for outstanding reporting in the Americas.

My editorial direction kept InSight Crime ahead of its competitors in reach and impact, using innovative newsletters and social media content, including videos and live events that I often presented and participated in.

I elevated InSight Crime’s reputation for high-quality journalism, leading to citations in virtually every major regional and global media outlet, including the New York Times, the BBC, CNN, Univision, The Guardian, Deutsche Welle, El País, O Globo, El Tiempo, El Universal and Al Jazeera. I personally appeared frequently as an expert in that coverage, both in print and on air.

Prior to InSight Crime, I worked as a reporter for the legal news service Law360 from 2018 to 2022. I advanced from being a general assignment reporter to a senior reporter covering employment law and immigration before returning to InSight Crime, where I had previously worked as a senior editor and writer.

I earned a degree in journalism and international studies from the University of Miami in Florida and a master’s degree in U.S. foreign policy and national security from American University in Washington, D.C., where I also completed an intercultural communication writing fellowship. I speak English, Spanish and Portuguese.
