Trained in anthropology and disaster prevention, I worked as a journalist in La Paz, Bolivia, where I covered environmental conflict as a Latin America correspondent for NPR, wrote for The Atlantic and Harper's, and produced stories for ABC, the BBC, The New Yorker, and others. I've also been a reporting fellow at UC Berkeley, Johns Hopkins, Middlebury, and NYU. 

I have extensive background in podcasting, having co-created Vice Audio, where I was executive editor and EP on shows like Chapo: Kingpin on Trial, A Show About Animals, and Painkiller, which won a Murrow. Prior to Vice, I worked as an editor and consultant on podcasts for Sony-Neon Hum, Spotify, and Stitcher.

Amid widespread layoffs in podcasting, I decided to return to the work closest to my heart: independent research and reporting focused on home in the broadest sense. This means land and housing; it also means climate adaptation, landscape recovery, and the future of both cities and rural places. Having grown up in a rural, working class place where many of the people closest to me were freelancers in some form, it turns out this is where I’m most grounded and motivated. Most at home.

Based in Chile, I’m bilingual in Spanish and English and love working in both languages.
