ABOUT ME

I studied communications, dreaming of becoming a filmmaker, and on the first day, I swore I would never be a journalist. Twenty years later, I’ve reported features, breaking news, and investigations on climate change, healthcare inequities, technology, chemistry, migration, and science topics I find interesting. My work has appeared in outlets such as The New York Times, Science, Nature, Inside Climate News, El País, and Medscape, among others across the continent.

I’ve never set foot on a movie set. No regrets. Writing stories about the real world is far more entertaining—especially when I get to work on investigations, help build bridges so underserved communities can tell and learn their stories, and hopefully inspire people to fight for a more equitable world. Learning about science isn’t a bad thing either.

In 2023, I worked for Nature, where I published an investigation on cloud seeding in Mexico, along with stories on climate activism in Mexico and the U.S., new discoveries in health sciences, inequities in the U.S. prison system, and the controversy over Mexico’s science law.

Before that, I earned an M.A. in Journalism from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY, where I specialized in science, health, and data. That same year, my feature on the impacts of illegal fishing in the Gulf of Mexico was runner-up for the Walter Reuter German Journalism Prize. I also received a Diversity Fellowship from the National Association of Science Writers and was an Inside Climate News Fellow, where I coordinated a multi-reporter feature on heat waves in the U.S. and launched the site’s TikTok channel and Spanish translations.

From 2016 to 2021, I worked in Mexico as a journalist covering science and health. During those years, I was selected as a Rosalynn Carter Mental Health Journalism fellow with a project on mental health and migration. In 2019, I won the European School of Oncology journalism award for a story on the inequities faced by women with lung cancer in Mexico.

I also worked as a journalist and public information officer at the Foro Consultivo Científico y Tecnológico, an office that advised the Mexican government on science and technology issues to inform policy. For ten years, I worked at Editorial Planeta as a proofreader and editorial assistant, copy editing and evaluating English titles and their translation into Spanish. That’s what drove me to become a journalist—but that’s another story to share in a face-to-face conversation. Anytime.
