Writer covering sports, music, technology, art, and style.
Writer and editor concentrating on sports, politics, pop culture, and film.
I have written articles and blogged for newspapers and websites around the country. I have more than 25 years of journalism experience, most of that working at a daily newspaper and I know the importance of meeting deadlines.
I write humor pieces for the New Yorker’s Shouts and Murmurs; personal essays; and essays on pop culture trends, digital lives (as they evolve with tech), music, and sports. I was the founding editor of AboveAverage.com, a comedy website in the Broadway Video family. I’m currently an associate producer at The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore and look forward to writing more pieces on a range of topics.
I’m a Venezuelan writer who grew up in Miami and went to school in New York City. No one can pronounce my last name correctly.
I currently write for For The Win of USA Today Sports and occasionally write for The Hundreds.
