ABOUT ME

I studied communications, dreaming of becoming a filmmaker. During my first class, I swore I would never be a journalist — it was too political a profession for my taste. Twenty years later, I’ve reported features, breaking news, and investigations on climate change, health care inequities, mental health, disabilities, migration, and more recently about chemistry and microbes. My work has appeared in The New York Times, Science, Nature, Inside Climate News, El País, Slate, and others across the Americas and Europe.

​

I never set foot on a movie set. No regrets. Writing stories about the real world is far more entertaining: I get to work on investigations, help build bridges between science and people, and inspire people to strive for a more equitable world. Meeting cool scientists and learning about their research isn’t a bad thing either!​​
