About Me
I'm a reporter passionate about the intersection of business and culture and technology. Currently, that means I cover the wild world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology at Forbes, where my coverage focuses on NFTs, the metaverse and crypto regulation.
My international background, spanning from Peru and Latin America to the US and even Ghana, has led me to cover everything from stocks to protest, from art galleries to food recipes and fashion shows. You can find my byline at Modern Luxury, The List, The Buenos Aires Times and more.
When I'm not reading or writing, you can find me at a spin class jamming to Bad Bunny or the nearest dog park with a smile on my face. You can find my latest Forbes article here, and a sample of my writing elsewhere below.
