Biography
Bilingual journalist, with a background in business and finance reporting. Passionate about economics, tech disruption, market regulation, and public policy. Since 2021, I am focused on reporting and researching about the intersection of data privacy, consumer protection, and digital markets regulation. I love to break news just as much as long-form writing. Before moving to the U.S. in 2018, I was the lead reporter for magazine SEMANAeconomica in Peru, covering "Operation Car Wash," a corruption scandal that originated in Brazil and spilled over South America, involving high-profile construction companies and politicians. Favorite geographies: U.S., Latin America, developing/emerging markets in general. I have a trained eye for spotting trends in the investments world (mostly capital markets) and I'm not afraid of spreadsheets.
