EDITORIAL
Although I started my editorial journey in traditional print media, I decided to quit to amplify narratives not included in mainstream outlets. For this reason, I've been covering topics around culture interjected by identity, race, human rights, underground music, and contested history. I have done this through two independent multimedia platforms, in Radio COCOA as Editorial Director and Programming Director and La Mala Letra as Founder and Editor in Chief.
Radio COCOA is the most influential multimedia platform in Ecuador that covers alternative culture and underground music. La Mala Letra was a project that experimented narrative journalism through a multimedia approach.
Also, my work has been published in Noisey, the music platform of VICE Media, Revista Mundo Diners, and The Latinx Project at NYU
