About Me
I am a PhD Student in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, with a special interest in Latin America, particularly, in topics related with political comunication, public opinion, and deliberation in conflict contexts. As a doctoral student of my Department, I am member of the Research Groups of International Communication and of the Physiology & Communication Effects. I am member to the Elections Center in the Department of Political Science, as well. In those groups I am working on projects that study the relationships between communication, ideology and deliberation in multiple media and contexts.
My job experience is not limited to the academic environment. I am columnist at Semana Magazine. I have also worked as a journalist in Colombia, Chile and Argentina, and as International Fellow for Journalism and Democracy at the Kettering Foundation in Dayton Ohio. In those positions I have gained the capacity to work under pressure, to complete different task in many environments, to work as a team member, but the most important, to communicate ideas to different publics in different platforms.
