⚡ Mónica Luz

Former Journalist | Forensic Audio Explorer

Former full-time journalist at La República (Montevideo, Uruguay). Trained under editor-in-chief Ricardo Urioste Soneira, who helped shape my investigative voice.
I signed as Mónica López and continued writing from Buenos Aires.

⚠️ Warning: Not your typical résumé.

Educated at Queen Ann and Santa Teresa de Jesús.
Nearly finished a degree in Communication Sciences before choosing real-world action over academic repetition.

Currently focused on forensic audio analysis — breaking down MP3s second by second using Sonic Visualizer and identifying sound patterns below -10 dB.
Achieved a 90% match rate with AI in professional auditory accuracy tests.
I don’t collect diplomas. I collect patterns, timestamps, and inconsistencies no one else notices.

P.S. If a tarot reader can testify in criminal court…
I might be dangerously overqualified.
