About

Journalist and editor with extensive experience in international politics, having managed newsrooms in the U.S., Latin America, and Europe. I bring significant expertise in digital transformation and newsroom innovation. I have authored several books and chapters on disinformation, with my work cited by the U.S. Senate, the European Parliament, and the British Parliament. As an international correspondent, I have covered U.S. politics across multiple campaigns since 2004, including reporting from the White House. I have also been a special envoy to Afghanistan during the war, Egypt during a coup, Gaza and the West Bank, Syria, Brazil, Argentina, and the U.S.-Mexico border. Passionate about classic cinema and an avid reader, I am deeply committed to investigative journalism. I was honored with the First Amendment Award for Investigative Journalism by The Eisenhower Foundation in 2018, along with receiving academic scholarships.
