About me

-

I’m an award-winning journalist and multimedia producer with over a decade of experience developing, producing, shooting, and editing videos for digital platforms. I’ve worked on everything from studio segments and explainers to features and documentaries.

 

Currently, I’m part of the GBH Digital Content team, where I produce and edit multimedia pieces across platforms. Recent projects include episodes of GBH News’ Curiosity Desk, launching The World’s new YouTube channel, and developing the video version of the Scratch & Win podcast. Before that, I spent nine years at CNET and CNET en Español, creating videos about science, technology, and innovation.

 

What I love most about my job is that it lets me learn something new every day and meet people doing extraordinary things. While I have a soft spot for documentary filmmaking, I enjoy working across formats. I like making complex ideas accessible and finding creative ways to bring abstract topics to life.

 

In a previous life, I was a staff reporter for El Periódico de Aragón in Spain, and I still enjoy writing when I can. You can see a couple of examples here and here.

 

I hold a master’s degree from UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism. My thesis — a series of short films about Mexico’s female professional wrestlers, Las Luchadoras — was featured on vice.com and elpais.com, and screened at the MXªBCN Festival in 2015. My work has received multiple awards and nominations, and I’ve served as a judge for the News & Documentary Emmy Awards.

 

Interested in working together? I’d love to hear from you — get in touch!
