The focus of my career has been to innovate and collaborate at the media outlets where I have worked. For the last 12 years I have covered Hispanics in the United States as an editor with the only news wire service specializing in this community—EFE News Servicio Hispano.

Prior to joining Servicio Hispano, I worked for one of Venezuela's leading national newspapers, El Nacional. After that, I worked for Movistar (former Telcel-Bellsouth) on its first portal and developing one of the first mobile app in the region.

I moved to Miami in 2001 and there I created the first and only Spanish-language publication by journalism students at Florida International University (FIU), Zona. I received The Beacon Award for this endeavor.

I was awarded a John S. Knight Journalism Fellowship at Stanford University in 2012. My post fellowship project Venezuela Decoded –a single-topic site that offers comprehensive coverage of Venezuela's conflict in real time – has been featured in 60 worldwide outlets and was a finalist for the award for innovation in the Gabriel Garcia Marquez Award 2014, Latin America's most prestigious media competition.
