I’m a reporter with a taste for stories that slip between the cracks — social, political, and cultural angles that don’t get the attention they deserve.
I combine a nose for news with photography and web skills to produce stories that reach the top of the SERPs and stick with readers.
I shoot with DSLR gear and deliver full reporting packages: written pieces, photos, data breakdowns, and short video when needed
I’m a dual American–Canadian living in Buenos Aires, with Argentine citizenship on the way.
I’m fluent in Spanish and have more than two decades of experience in Latin America both in the Southern Cone and Central America.
My reporting has taken me from environmental fallout around Lake Victoria to U.S. drug-policy fights and daily life inside a Buenos Aires villa. I’ve covered breaking news — from plane crashes to background reporting during the Columbine shooting — but my best work is long-form, built on deep research.
I amplify voices across the spectrum from those living on the fringes to prominent figures in the arts.
I hold a BA in Global Studies with a photojournalism concentration from Long Island University’s Friends World Program and completed a one-year documentary film course with the Argentine Film Industry Union.

I also founded Wander Argentina, one of Argentina’s top-ranking independent travel sites.

A contemporary re-examination of footage raises serious questions about the circumstances — and the subsequent framing of the tragedy.
This piece explores how a young, idealistic American civilian was recruited for a high-risk mission in a conflict zone — funded by Congress in this case — and ended up paying the ultimate price.
This is one segment of a larger project investigating how young American activists are put in harm’s way by well-funded organizations that trade on the moral authority of civilian activists while exposing them to risks their leadership never seems to face.
