A selection of my multimedia work
Boston.com (2007)
As an intern news producer with The Boston Globe's online news desk, Boston.com, I had the opportunity to work on various multimedia projects, including photo galleries for breaking-news stories and features. For example, I helped building a special section for the Virginia Tech shootings, and, at the same time that morning, we processed the photos from the Boston Marathon, developing on a perfect Nor'Eastern storm.
I produced web-exclusive features including: Going Gray and "What Does $456 billion Buy?" . This gallery, done in collaboration with experts all over the newsroom, was digged 1,200 times, remained as the most e-mailed Globe story for over month and received some kudos, such as this post on SPJ's blog "News Gems" by John Marshall and this one on Poynter.org.
Later this year, I did a follow-up with this information about the Bush's vanishing allies.
I reported, wrote and took some of the photos for this photo-story about the local antiwar movement.
I helped in several special projects, such as Farewell to a Proud Warrior, the Globe's four-day coverage of USS JFK final port call, where I was in charge of integrating user-submitted content such as photos and message boards.
On a regular basis, I contributed with research and production of Campaign 2008, the Globe's early-launched website with breaking news and special reports from the race to the White House. Some photo galleries I produced for politics are: one about those behind the candidates' fund raising efforts for the magazine; one showing some similarities between Hillary Clinton and Argentina's First Lady candidate; and one for when the Clintons first campaigned together in N.H.
Boston University's Statehouse Program (2006 - 2007)
I was the Webmaster for the journalism program that covers Massachusetts government and politics for newspapers and radio stations around the state. Every semester, the program published 140 byline stories in state papers, audio and photos, that I featured on the site using Dreamweaver, Flash, Photoshop, BU's CMS, and HTML.
As a student in the program myself, I was the correspondent for The Eagle Tribune, The Salem News, Daily News of Newburyport and Gloucester Daily Times. I completed more than 30 stories, some of which were A-1 stories, including the contended campaign between two Dominican House candidates, an investigative report published in six of our member media anticipating an unprecedented turnout and some features.

The Phoenix (2006)
As Editorial Online Intern I participated in the production, maintenance, and promotion of the editorial content on the Phoenix Web sites, by assisting with weekly page updates, performing online research related to the newspaper's content, as well as writing web content, such as this story about the local Rock in Spanish scene.
One daily task was to update the Phoenix's listings and building the Editor's Picks section.
BU Today (2006)
I worked as general assignment reporter covering the University's community for its official online magazine. I wrote about a form of art that changed according to the viewer's mood, an audio-slideshow about young scientists working with the Cape Code community and several profiles. I interviewed Babel's director Alejandro Iñarritu and a doctor who helps the "invisible children" from La Paz. I also contributed with research and reporting for this video feature about how students don't study, and co-managed BUniverse video archive.
La Nacion (2002)
I was chosen to be one of 22 Torcuato Di Tella University and La Nacion Fellows. I worked as a political reporter at La Nacion newspaper, published features and daily news stories.
