About

I am a journalist and writer with over twenty years of experience as an international correspondent. I have reported for multiple outlets in French and Spanish, and I am the author of three books in French and Spanish. I focus on investigative reporting and in-depth stories for print media and radio, often working in Spanish-speaking environments in Spain and Mexico.

Now I live in Greece, where I write novels, podcasts, screenplays and travel pieces, and teach French to non-French-speaking journalists. I am passionate about writing, investigations and storytelling, and I value ethics, empathy and perseverance in all my work.
