About Me
Hello! I'm an award-winning writer and editor with more than 20 years of experience in culturally-focused journalism. I am currently the publisher of Unpackd and a contributing editor at Fathom. I was a recent guest on the Break Into Travel Writing podcast, sharing tips with aspiring writers.
I trained as a fellow with The New York Times Institute for Journalism and have written hundreds of stories for marquee global outlets such as the Times, Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, Sinais de cena (Portugal), and Tonic (UK). I served as managing editor for Further, a luxury travel platform; associate editor for Estreno Plays, a literary press that publishes contemporary plays from Spain; and was the U.S. delegate to the Association international des critiques de théâtre, a UNESCO NGO that took me across Asia, Scandinavia, Europe, and North America to write about the performing arts. Soy bilingüe en español e inglés.
