about
I am a freelance visual journalist specializing in documentary projects, portraiture and multimedia storytelling. My interest in photography started while attending engineering school in Lima, Perú, my hometown. Upon graduation I decided to switch paths and moved to the United States to pursue a career in photojournalism. In 2009 I received a degree in photojournalism from the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York.
