CV

This is me

I produce compelling and impactful content for traditional and digital formats. I’ve worked (10+ years) in close coordination with international and remote teams overseeing bilingual projects (English and Spanish) from conception to the final stages of production. I can research, generate and pitch ideas and also analyze narrative arcs, turning them later into unique storylines. Thanks to my journalistic background and strong news judgement, I’ve booked and conducted high-level interviews with all types of personalities. I enjoy assembling and pushing forward multicultural crews where collaborative work is the number one propeller for personal and professional success.

Podcasts are the real deal. I love to listen to pretty much everything. Thanks to the NY Media Center by IFP I got selected to the 2019 (Fall Cohort) Podcasting Program where I not only had the privilege to learn something I really like, but also used my skill set (radio + documentary) into creating, researching, producing and directing my very own piece. 

This is TRANSGRESSION. A story about how the business of sex parties in NYC was created in the 90s. NO social media, NO smart phones, just buzz. I talked to Palagia, the Queen of erotic parties in NYC and she reflected on how she made the business bloom in a man controlled environment. The next 8 minutes are definitely not about sex. It’s more about how differently generations have approached their sexuality and why women needed desperately to explore their pleasure without guilt.
