LAURA VALENTINA MERCADO

Journalist specializing in digital content with five years of experience in media. Throughout my career, I have focused on creating digital traffic strategies and SEO writing, combining rigor with journalistic ethics. Moreover, I have covered topics related to mobility, infrastructure, and public order in Bogotá.

I firmly believe that empathy, teamwork, and honesty are fundamental in this profession, and I am passionate about telling stories through narrative journalism and in-depth reporting. As a professional goal, I am currently seeking to continue my academic training to better understand the media business and further develop my leadership skills.
