For more than a decade, I’ve reported on a variety of subjects for both radio and print, employing my interviewing and foreign language skills and my interest in the world around me to reach the heart of any story. During 2012-2013, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to join a group of 12 international journalists as a fellow in the Knight Science Journalism Fellowship at MIT.

My radio documentaries have aired on Scientific American, the World Vision Report, The World, Living on Earth, and Latino USA, while my print stories have appeared in a range of venues such as the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine, Scientific American, Smithsonian.com, Ranger Rick, and Muse Magazine. I’m the author of the e-single, “Electric Shock: How electricity could be the key to human regeneration.”
