One of the most memorable stories Alberto covered was the impact Hurricane Maria had on his homeland of Puerto Rico.
“The aftermath of Hurricane Maria was the most emotionally and physically challenging story I’ve ever covered. I was not only witnessing a devastated island - I was also racing against time to find my family.”
