About
I am a widely-published print journalist covering Latin America and looking to expand my video repertoire. My writing on subjects as varied as hard news, cuisine, travel and sport, has been published in Vice, the Washington Post, the Independent, Foreign Policy, the Guardian and, in Spanish, El Pais, among many others. I have also produced and reported three online videos, all with GlobalPost, which you can see lower down. In each case, I proposed the idea, researched it and wrote the script, while working closely with a cameraman, who also did the post-production. I have been based in Latin America for more than a decade and am fully bilingual in English and Spanish. I have a long track record of breaking original print features, and would welcome the chance to do something similar with video or TV.

Can a cable car save this lost Inca ruin?, an "On Location" Video for GlobalPost (now part of Public Radio International)
A five-minute online video looking at the fate of a spectacular "lost" Inca ruin in a remote corner of Peruvian cloud forest. The site, Choquequirao, receives a trickle of visitors due to the tough trek to get here. But that is about to change thanks to a new cable car to the ruins, intended to attract tourism-dollars and bring development to local communinities, changing Choquequirao forever.

What if we lost the Amazon rainforest?, an online video for GlobalPost, now part of Public Radio International
An online video looking at the work of a US scientist monitoring the subtle, and not-so-subtle, impacts of climate change on the Amazon. Flying over the rainforest, he uses state-of-the-art lasers to create 3D maps of it, cataloguing the changes in the canopy. The results of droughts and increased forest fires are alarming and could potentially spell the end of the Amazon as we know it.
