Request QuoteI am a journalist, videographer and translator. I cover stories about marginalized communities, such as immigrants, members of the LGBTQ community, and ex-combatants who don't usually have a voice in mainstream news coverage. I cover stories relevant to human rights in different countries and communities.I am currently based in Mexico City where I work as an editor for Diálogo Chino, a news site devoted to covering China's influence in Latin America. In 2018 I was awarded the National Journalism Award in Colombia for an investigation I carried out for the project La Mesa de Centro. I am interested in continuing to cover stories that are traditionally under-reported. I have published my work in Ozy the San Francisco Public Press, El Tecolote, VICE news, Pacifista, 070, National Geographic and the Women's Media Center.
In Mexico, there are 42 thousand beekeepers who produce around 57,000 tonnes honey each year, according to SAGARPA. Beekeeping is a mainstay of a rural economy worth an estimated US$100 million annually. But Despite an uptick in 2018, production has fallen in recent years. China, meanwhile, is the world's top honey producer and exporter – as well as being the largest adulterator of the product. Chinese counterfeiters have developed methods over more than three decades, permeating international markets.
US company Constellation Brands has been constructing a giant brewery in northern Mexico for over two years. It resembles the site of a massive music festival. The ring-fenced property, which sprawls across more than 350 hectares, could become one of Mexico’s largest breweries – if residents of the nearby city of Mexicali do not derail it. It's a story about water shortages and how a city stood up against a company trying to take over water supplies.
