I spend most of my time on Miami Beach and in Tel Aviv, where I am certified to volunteer on ambulances with Magen David Adom, Israel’s pre-hospital medical organization.

As a reporter, I’ve covered stories across the U.S. (including Louisiana, Michigan and South Dakota!), and to countries like Mexico, Germany, Colombia, Kosovo, Poland, Belgium and Israel.

I speak native-level Spanish and English, and intermediate Hebrew, French and German.

My passions are traveling, art deco and photography. I have experience teaching radio production to college-level students from the U.S. at the Center for International Educational Exchange (CIEE) in Berlin.

I’m a past Pulitzer Center grantee and reported on the FARC in Colombia with the grant funding. Many years ago, I was born in Cali, Colombia.
