Award-winning Brazilian journalist Chris Delboni has been a foreign correspondent in the United States since 1993.  Delboni started her career in print as a magazine writer before she became the Washington correspondent for Bandeirantes Radio Network.  She was later hired by CBN Radio, a division of Globo Network giant, where she worked most of her tenure in Washington, D.C., both as a general assignment reporter and as a financial correspondent for Globo News TV, Globo Network’s 24-hour news channel.

Delboni graduated in print journalism from American University’s School of Communication, in Washington, in 1992, and received a master’s in online journalism from the same institution in 2003, when she started a small video production company.

Delboni produced, reported, and edited daily print, audio and video stories for a variety of Brazilian mainstream media outlets—from newswire services and magazines to online news sites, radio and television—until 2005, when she moved to Miami Beach, where she currently lives with her two black labs, Kiko and Katu.

Delboni has been teaching journalism and new media reporting at the University of Miami since spring 2007 and is the new media coordinator at the Knight Center for International Media.
