I've always needed
to know why.

I grew up wanting to understand how things actually work. So I studied physics. But equations weren't enough. I needed the human stories underneath the data, the people living inside the systems. So I became a journalist. I invited myself into strangers' homes. I went to uncomfortable places. I asked uncomfortable questions. Because understanding the world from a distance was never going to be enough for me.

I've reported from Mexico City, London, Washington D.C., and New York for The Washington Post, Al Jazeera, Scientific American, Gatopardo, the BBC and many more. I'm a Fulbright scholar and a Chevening scholar. I studied Physics at UNAM in Mexico City, Science Media Production at Imperial College London and Journalism at CUNY Graduate School of Journalism in New York. In 2021, my team and I built Un Poco de Contexto into the #1 news podcast in Mexico on Spotify. Not because we had the biggest platform. Because we refused to stop at the first explanation.

For a few years I stepped away from my own journalism to build Kizaya, a podcast production company. It started because brands came knocking after Un Poco de Contexto took off. I got good at building shows for other people. But somewhere along the way I lost the thing I was actually built for, which is making sense of the world. So I'm back. And I'm not going anywhere.

If you want to follow the threads, start here. If you want to build a podcast that actually matters, I teach that too.
