With over 12 years of experience in post-production, including roles as Post Supervisor, Lead Editor, and Story Producer, I’ve built a reputation for exceptional storytelling and editorial leadership. Highlights of my career include working on the Emmy-nominated In Space with Markiplier, leading a LGBTQIA+ business resource group for three years, and speaking at the FCPX Creative Summit. In my recent role at Rooster Teeth Productions, I guided diverse projects, from feature films and reality series to podcasts and marketing videos, for clients both internal and external. I also focused on creating narrative structures that resonate with audiences and align with brand values. I've collaborated with industry giants like HBO, Warner Bros. Discovery, YouTube Originals, Robot Entertainment, and Bethesda Game Studios. Residing in Austin, TX, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Radio, Television, and Film (RTF) from the University of Texas at Austin. Fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, I incorporate diverse cultural perspectives into my work. When I'm not weaving stories, I’m either whipping up a delicious new recipe, getting my hands dirty in the garden, or spending time with friends and family. I'm eager to leverage my skills in new opportunities to drive impactful content creation, with a special emphasis on highlighting underrepresented voices and showcasing authentic human connections.
