Born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia, in the glorious and turbulent 80s, I have always had a special thing for journalism. I have a PhD in Communication from the University of Ottawa and work as an Assistant Professor of Journalism at Mount Royal University, in Calgary.
My work also includes co-producing and hosting the Spanish-language podcast Periodémica and being the editor-in-chief of J-Source.
As a journalist, educator, and researcher, I care about the changing norms and practices of journalism, what audiences expect of newsmakers, and how our relationship with journalism affects us all. My doctoral thesis explored anti-media discourses that follow when democratic votes yield unexpected results. Other research include podcast studies and community-centered journalism, the future of objectivity in journalism, and the intersection of feminism and media.
