Before joining Telemundo 40, Sánchez worked as an independent journalist, reporting from Miami, Florida, Uruguay, Mexico and the Darién region. His assignments focused on elections, migration and human rights.

He also contributed Spanish-language reporting to South Florida Media Network and worked as a producer for TelevisaUnivision.

Earlier in his career, Sánchez covered business and community developments for Capital Analytics and served as a researcher for the International Organization for Migration in Colombia.
