About

Born and raised in Buenos Aires, I am now based in Madrid. I have developed my career mostly as a media producer and international creative executive, but I am also a sociologist and media researcher. In 2024, I completed my Ph.D in Media Research at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. My thesis focused on PSM from an audience perspective. My main interests are PSM, the role of media in citizenship building, and information patterns of younger audiences
