I spend most of my time in Tel Aviv and Miami Beach. Both cities are home.

As a reporter, I’ve covered stories across the U.S. — including Louisiana, Michigan and South Dakota and Las Vegas — and in countries like Mexico, Germany, Colombia, Kosovo, Poland, Belgium and Israel.

I speak native-level Spanish and English, advanced Hebrew and French and intermediate German.

My passions are traveling, Art Deco architecture preservation and photography. I am certified to volunteer on ambulances with Magen David Adom, Israel’s pre-hospital medical organization. I taught radio production to college-level students from the U.S. at the Center for International Educational Exchange (CIEE) in Berlin.

I’m a past Pulitzer Center grantee and reported on the former guerrilla group, the FARC, in Colombia thanks to grant funding. Many years ago, I was born in Cali, Colombia.
