As an immigrant who moved to the United States when I was 11 years old, communication is more than a job to me. It is something that has always been an integral part of my life. Sometimes challenging, like when I first arrived in the US from Argentina without knowing any English, other times rewarding, like when I published my first article as a journalist in a leading NYC newspaper. Communication has truly shaped my life, which is why I have chosen to mold my career around the field.
Since earning my graduate degree in Journalism from the Graduate School of Journalism, my career has led me to work in some of the most prestigious media outlets including Telemundo 47/NBC, The New York Daily News, and NY1. Most recently, I managed communication strategy for the Department of Anesthesiology at Weill Cornell Medicine’s teaching hospital.
At WCM, I collaborated with doctors, nurses, staff and residents to generate ample content (including photography, shooting/editing video and written pieces) highlighting WCM’s research efforts and achievements. I helped manage the website, social media accounts, and contributed to some of the subspecialties including the Global Health Initiative in the Department of Anesthesiology.
My career as a journalist makes me confident I can manage any publicly facing platform. Working at WCM has shown me how to take those communication skills and deliver internal news and reporting. I have been lucky to have had the opportunity to work with a number of communications systems, tools, and resources including analytics platforms, email marketing platforms, and a number of different website backends.
