I am a multilingual reporter currently on leave of absence from Dow Jones Newswires and The Wall Street Journal, where I covered the European pharmaceutical industry, healthcare and various business topics for the past three and a half years. At the moment I am pursuing freelance writing and documentary projects out of Barcelona, Spain, though I am open to travel for assignments. My previous journalistic experience includes reporting on migration, human rights, technology, international affairs and culture, both in print and video. Previously to joining The Wall Street Journal in 2020, I worked for Agence France-Presse, the Italian newspaper La Stampa, and on different international collaborative journalistic projects, including the investigative phase of a PBS Frontline production. I had my writing and videos published in Deutsche Welle, Foreign Policy, Coda Story, QuickTake by Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal among others. On the documentary side, three short films I co-produced and co-directed with the Barcelona-based production company Otoxo Productions have been recognized in international festivals. My gear: Nikon D7200 with Sigma 18-300 /Nikon 50 mm, Røde shotgun mic / Synco radio mike, Manfrotto light tripod
