I have a degree in Communication Sciences from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS), with a specialization in Organizational Communication. From an early age I have felt a deep passion for journalism and radio, which led me to do my professional internship at the Culiacán City Council, where I had the privilege of writing and recording notes for a radio newscast. Currently, I am part of the team of journalists at the debate.com.mx news portal, where I work as a specialized editor in the migration and travel section. My work focuses especially on reporting on procedures related to obtaining American visas, residence in the United States and the Mexican passport. In addition, I share information about tourist destinations in Mexico and the world, as well as travel tips that cover airlines such as Aeroméxico, Volaris, Mexicana de Aviación and Viva Aerobús. I also have an extensive history writing about entertainment news and controversies in Mexico, America and the United Kingdom, as I emphasized the British royal family, particularly Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales and wife of Prince William, the next king of England. Likewise, I have dedicated myself to writing police topics, since I have an affinity for addressing sensitive topics with a human approach. Today I complement my professional training as a Law Degree student at the Autonomous University of Sinaloa.
