Bio
I am a Venezuelan documentary editor, director, and journalist based in New York City. Originally from Caracas, I began my career as a journalist in Colombia, where I worked as a content producer for a two-hour live political debate and opinion program at NTN24, a cable news channel broadcast across Latin America and the United States.
Working in live television taught me the urgency and discipline of telling stories in real time, but it also left me craving more artistic, nuanced, and less formulaic ways of exploring nonfiction stories. That desire eventually led me to New York City, where I began pursuing documentary filmmaking.
As an editor, I have worked on Emmy Award-winning, Oscar-nominated, and Sundance-premiering documentaries, bringing a character-driven approach to nonfiction storytelling. Most recently, I edited The Librarians, which premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and received an Emmy for Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking.
Alongside my work as an editor, I am developing my first feature documentary as a director, a film that is very close to my heart. It tells the story of a Venezuelan journalist living in exile who, amid the dramatic changes in her country's political landscape, begins to see returning home as a possibility rather than a dream. As a fellow Venezuelan, I've watched this question of return, and who gets to make that choice, shape the lives of people I know, and it's a story I've long felt called to tell.
