Experience

Since I was very young I was interested in storytelling and excited about television. When I got to study higher education, I did my bachelor's in Social Communication and Journalism. Then I had the pleasure to produce television and work on TV shows for teenagers, and others focusing on culture, Science, technology, and education. My other passion is to travel, so ever since I got the chance, I have loved to go to new places and meet new people, taste new food, and experience what the place has to offer during the trip. I also became interested in Digital communication and Motion graphics, so I moved to Argentina to learn about Design, Digital technologies, and audiovisual design. When I finished my master's in Design, I returned to Colombia and continued doing television and very soon I started being a professor in Digital Communication, Social Media, and the digital world, and how it makes us change the way we communicate and storytelling in digital media. Last year, as a hobby, I started with a friend a Literature podcast called Pitaya Podcast where we tell stories and interview Latin American authors.
