Before marketing, I made films.
Making my own films taught me what a shot really costs and how a shoot day runs, and years on network sets taught me the rest. I bring all of that to the content I make for my clients.
Born and raised in Miami, I moved to Los Angeles to make films, and made award winning ones. My directorial debut, Easy Money, won Best Short Film at the Cinema City International Film Festival. Christmas Confessional earned me the title of Breakout Filmmaker from Project Breakout and took me to London. No Dark, No Light premiered at Miami Art Basel and won Best of Fest and the Audience Award at the Multiversal Film Festival.
Life in Los Angeles put health and self care at the center of my days. In 2010 I left to travel the world and train with the top teachers in yoga. I am certified in Hot Power Yoga, earned in Miami, and teach Vinyasa and Hot Power Yoga. Along the way I worked in front of and behind the camera in China, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Greece and Cyprus, including a short documentary on Shaolin culture filmed in China.
A member of the Screen Actors Guild since 2007 and AFTRA since 2008, I joined the AFTRA Local Board in 2010 and continued on the SAG‑AFTRA board after the merger. I also performed in the 2005 Orange Bowl halftime show.
