I edit journalism on Central America and the United States, across formats, audiences, and languages.
Central America Monthly
A digital magazine publishing long-form narrative, visual, and audio reporting. I edit reporting, oversee design, and write an introductory essay. In 2025, we published our first eight issues, among them:
- Rumblings in Honduras: Final Stretch to Elections Marked by Old Faces and Older Vices
- Hear Their Voices: Death, Torture, and Starvation in Bukele’s Prisons
- Tarmac of Tears: Back in Guatemala, Trump’s Deportees Weep

Guiding regional reporting
I work closely with reporters and photojournalists to craft stories across formats, from conception through publication.
- Print: Central American Autocrats Seek to Erase University Autonomy — Leyrian Colón Santiago, August 2025
- Podcast: The Deportation of Mario Guevara: Where Attacks on Immigrants and Journalists Collide — Yuliana Ramazzini, October 2025

English adaptations
I adapt El Faro’s narrative and visual journalism for English-speaking audiences, focusing on pressing and underexplored issues.
