Martinez is a reporter for the Associated Press in Bogota, Colombia,
where she covers the civil conflict, gangs, and negotiations between
the government and insurgent groups. She graduated from Bogota’s
University of the Andes in 1994 with a law degree and worked at
the Foreign Affairs Ministry. She was a Fulbright Scholar in journalism
and international affairs at Columbia University in New York, graduating
in 1998. After a stint at NBC News, Martinez moved back to Colombia.
Her work at the AP eventually led her to Medellin’s poor barrios,
which are a window on the roots of Colombia’s violence. |
