Amelie Baquero

Amelie Baquero is an Ecuadorian-American journalist with one of the most promising international-reporting careers of her generation. Her work cuts across foreign policy, international institutions, and the stories that mainstream coverage routinely misses. A 2026 graduate of the University of Texas at Austin with degrees in journalism and international relations, she is now reading for a master's at the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University, the program that has trained generations of American diplomats and foreign-policy thinkers.

Fluent in Spanish, English, and French, and filing from Austin and Washington, D.C., she has been recognized since her undergraduate years for the rigor and clarity of her reporting on Latin America, migration, and the international institutions reshaping global policy. Her ambition is plain: investigative reporting and foreign correspondence at the highest level, and a body of work that earns its way into the rooms where global decisions are actually made.
