I am an accomplished journalist with over a decade of experience covering breaking news, investigative stories, and global events. As an Editorial Producer at CNN, I make critical editorial decisions, find sources on a variety of issues, deal with prominent voices and newsmakers, and craft compelling narratives on topics ranging from the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election to international crises like the Ukraine war. My ability to secure exclusive interviews with high-profile figures and my investigative work on award-winning projects, such as ProPublica's Pulitzer-finalist series Lost Mothers, underscore my dedication to impactful and timely storytelling. Being fluent in English, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, and French has allowed me to connect with diverse audiences and sources around the globe.
Storytelling is my passion, and I combine technical expertise with editorial acumen to create visually rich and reader-focused digital experiences. My Emmy-winning work on Finding Sanctuary exemplifies my ability to manage complex projects and use multimedia elements to highlight underrepresented communities. Whether reporting on global affairs for CNN Brasil or leading production teams to craft impactful narratives, I remain committed to delivering accurate, engaging, and socially meaningful journalism.
