WRITER, PHOTOGRAPHER & WINE EXPERT 

Born in Chile, raised in Canada, and now living en France, I write for various international, award-winning wine and food magazines.

Additionally, I have consulted for wine and tourism associations in Spain and Portugal, lectured at various European universities including St. Gallen University, Switzerland and Rovira i Virgili University, Spain, and completed a research fellowship at the Fondazione Santagata for the Economics of Culture in Turin, Italy in 2022.

My photo “A Day’s Work” was shortlisted for the World Food Photography Awards (previously the Pink Lady Food Photography Award) Errazuriz Wine Photographer of the Year 2019. A selection of my wine writing was longlisted for the 67 Pall Mall Wine Awards, under long-form writing, in 2024.

Based in southern Europe since 2015, I currently live in Bordeaux, France with my family.

Career highlights

In 2015, I took a leap of faith and moved to Porto, Portugal to pursue my budding passion for all things wine. In hindsight, it was rather foolish—having no contacts or connections in the industry, and embarrassingly little knowledge about the drink itself—but somehow, things worked out. A year later, I was a awarded a scholarship to complete an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Degree in Wine Tourism Innovation from the University Rovira i Virgili (Spain), University of Bordeaux (France) and University of Porto (Portugal), which I completed in 2018. In June 2021, six months pregnant, I successfully passed the final tasting exam, earning the prestigious WSET Diploma in Wines.
