I currently work as a web writer, specialized in the NBA and NFL for Empresa EL Debate. I worked for 4 years and 5 months in the sports section of the printed newspaper in Culiacán, covering a variety of topics, assigned to the source of CIBACOPA’s Caballeros de Culiacán. I had the opportunity to cover EL DEBATE’s Barrios basketball tournament for 3 years, one in Mazatlán, 2 in Culiacán, as well as the National War Band in Los Mochis. Similarly, I was present at various openings and closings of the company’s sporting events. My passion is basketball, so I am constantly researching burst sports, especially the NBA, and have done specials on relevant topics. I covered the Culiacan International Marathon twice, one of the most important events at the local and state level. I am an avid reader who loves to constantly improve myself, both personally and professionally. I successfully attended the Digital Sports Journalism Workshop at the University of Guadalajara, sponsored by EL DEBATE.
