About Me

I am a digital politics reporter for NBC News. I have covered the White House, Congress, campaigns, state legislatures and more breaking political news. My reporting has touched on the Trump administration, U.S. foreign policy in Latin America and the fallout from the Epstein files, among other topics.

I also covered general breaking news and the 2024 Summer Olympics for NBC.

I grew up in Bogotá, Colombia, and Miami, FL. I graduated from Harvard University in 2024, where I majored in History & Literature with a minor in Government — although I feel like I really majored in my college newspaper, The Harvard Crimson, where I had the honor of being its first Hispanic president (here’s a little more about that, from the Today Show).

There, I helmed the paper’s historic shift into the digital age and moved print publication to a weekly, redesigned broadsheet and a monthly magazine. I oversaw the paper’s 300+ person staff and directed the organization’s entirely independent and student-run editorial, financial, and cultural strategy. Prior to that, I was a news reporter covering Police Accountability and the Harvard Kennedy School, and co-hosted a podcast scrutinizing the legacy of slavery and discrimination at Harvard. (More about The Crimson…And more…Some more…)

In college, I interned for my local NPR station, WLRN South Florida, and for NBC News’ social media team.

I am based in Washington D.C., where I live with my adorable cat, Lola (a rescue found in a newsroom’s parking lot!).

I speak English, Spanish and French. I’m completing a part-time master’s in Creative Writing at the University of Cambridge, which I’m set to complete in spring of 2027.
