Skills
I have worked for Graphics departments in Venezuela, Chile and Oman. On print and digital platforms. In Oman I was in charge of developing infographics for a digital platform. At La Tercera (Chile) I was in charge of putting into operation the infographic work for the digital platform, beside print work. The main achievement was to develop not only the daily work, but also to help create a research team for visual reports with the language of infographics and propose special topics to the newsroom. For instance the rescue of the miners in Atacama (Chile) in 2010, from the newspaper La Tercera. It was several months of investigation, with graphic reporters at that place and we actively collaborate with infographic teams from all over the world.
Resume
I have extensive experience developing infographics from research to publication. I am constantly updating my knowledge to follow the trend of information consumption in several platforms. I have specialized in generating teams according to the specialties that are needed and generating networks with other teams.
