Correspondent
& Producer
As a producer and correspondent for W Radio Colombia, under the director of the U.S. editor, I focused on creating content for a 6-hour long morning show from the United States.
I achieved this through news gathering and delivery as a fill-in host, on-air coverage of events as a correspondent, and booking production for high-profile guests related to major current events.
Coverage
Some of the most important coverages I was assigned to included:
-
Colombian ex-president Ivan Duque's visit to Miami for the Concordia Americas Summit, ex-president Juan Manuel Santos as a keynote speaker at a Summit taking place in Miami.
-
Super-star soccer match "The Beautiful Game" in Fort Lauderdale, which included interviews with NBA MVP and Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash, soccer player Radamel Falcao, former NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco Johnson.
-
The one-year anniversary of the Surfside condo collapse of the Champlain Towers South which included an interview with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, FL congresswoman.
Interviews
W Radio is notably known for unforgettable interviews. Some of the most high-profile and memorable interviews I've booked and produced include:
-
Mark Cuban, billionaire American investor.
-
Mark Esper, Former Defense Secretary under Donald Trump.
-
Sarah Bloom Raskin, Former U.S. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury.
-
Jacoba Ballard, from netflix documentary "Our Father."
-
Fred Kerley, world's fastest man.
-
Andrew Yang, founder and chair of the Forward Politcal Party.
Translations
The morning show is well known for its international reach with correspondents throughout the globe and guests coming from every corner of the planet. Some interviews are held in English and we need a simultaneous translation. Here are some interviews where I had to translate questions to our guest from Spanish into English:
-
Randal Kleiser, director of Grease. Passing of Olivia Newton-John

Steve Zissou, attorney for Viktor Bout. President Biden proposes an exchange between arms dealer Viktor Bout and WNBA player Brittney Griner.
