El Diario/La Prensa
About Myself:
I’m the Health Editor of El Diario/La Prensa —the nation’s oldest Spanish language newspaper and the largest in New York City for over 96 years. I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, were I obtained my bachelor degree in Journalism in 1994. I began my career eighteen years ago as a News-Producer for Televen Channel 10, the third-largest television station in his native country. After I moved to the United States I worked as Associate Editor for the weekly newspaper El Latinoamericano USA, where I developed, researched and wrote front-page stories and in-depth special investigations on diverse topics, paying special attention to the health issues of the Spanish community in New York City. I also worked as New York Correspondent for Tiempos Del Mundo, a weekly Spanish language newspaper published in fourteen Latin American Countries and the cities of Washington DC, New York and Miami. During my career, I have been honored with several awards, including four Gold Awards from the National Association of Hispanic Publications, for my outstanding articles published in the Health Section of El Diario/La Prensa. I’m a member of the Association of Health Care Journalists and currently I reside in New York City with his partner and my dog.
