I am a freelancer journalist with a strong interest in literature, wine & gastronomy, tourism, and history. I have worked in media specialized in wine & gastronomy, and at one point, managed a website dedicated to this topic where I served as both a partner and journalist. This passion motivated me to take a step further, where I had my own website offering Lebanese food for delivery, while also engaging in promotional content on Facebook and editing short videos.

My love for literature is currently expressed through a weekly literary podcast where I provide brief analyses of various works and authors on the local radio station Frecuencia 25 (Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup). I also complement this with a personal blog dedicated to the subject (Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup).

As a journalist, I understand that media is dynamic and that the use of artificial intelligence is crucial for effectively disseminating messages. That’s why I’ve also been involved in training Large Language Models (LLM), collaborating as a freelancer with companies such as Outlier, DataAnnotation, Welocalize, and Telus. In this role, I have gained experience evaluating the responses generated by models in terms of truthfulness, accuracy, verbosity, etc., and contributing to the creation of prompts. I understand that artificial intelligence will be an inevitable and useful part of our lives, so it is essential to train models to ensure they are safe for users.

Finally, as mentioned, history is another of my passions, which led me to obtain a diploma in Latin American Studies from the University of los Andes in Chile. While I haven’t had the opportunity to work formally in this field, it has been extremely helpful in educating my homeschooled children.
