A Boston native, my childhood was spent in Europe and, over the course of my professional career, I’ve been based in New York, Mexico City, and Washington DC. My early years abroad sparked a passionate interest in international affairs, leading to a master’s degree in journalism and Latin American studies from New York University and a career covering global issues as a writer, editor, and photographer. 

I’m honored to be a 2024-25 Wilson International Competition Fellow at the Wilson Center’s Mexico Institute, where I am conducting research and writing about the paradox of Mexico’s achievements when it comes to gender parity in politics even as high levels of economic disparity and gender-based violence persist.

My writing and analysis focus on Latin America and particularly Mexico. I’ve written for The Boston Globe, World Politics Review and Univision while CNN International, AFP, Business Insider, Huffington Post, Latin America Advisor, and The Washington Post are among the outlets that have featured my commentary on Mexican politics and regional affairs.

I am on leave from my role as the editor-in-chief of AS/COA Online, the website of the Americas Society and Council of the Americas, where I direct the web and media relations teams, and handle online operations that encompass social media, livestreaming, and video production. I also host the podcast series Latin America in Focus and editorially manage two e-newsletters that count diplomats, CEOs, and international journalists among readers and subscribers. Prior to joining AS/COA, I covered Asia as website staff writer for the Council on Foreign Relations. While there, I managed production of an interactive guide to the North Korean nuclear crisis that helped CFR.org’s Crisis Guide series win a 2007 Knight-Batten Award for Innovations in Journalism.

Outside of work and parenting, I enjoy photography. ReVista: Harvard Review of Latin America, The New York Times, and Letras Libres are among the publications that have published my photos. I’m a member of the Mexican Council on Foreign Affairs (COMEXI) and Women’s Foreign Policy Group.
