About
As a San Jose State University senior pursuing a bachelor's in Radio-TV-Film with a minor in Chicana and Chicano Studies, I bring a unique perspective and a deep commitment to the entertainment industry. My hands-on experience includes pre-production, production, and post-production, allowing me to develop a well-rounded skill set.
In my role as a Media Genome Analyst at Katch, I gained valuable insights into what makes films and TV shows resonate with audiences through in-depth content research and analysis. As a member of the Film Production Society Club, I collaborated with a team of 30 to produce a short film over four days, 12 hours each day, demonstrating our passion and dedication by working long hours to create a quality product.
At SJSU Athletics, I honed my editing skills in Adobe Premiere Pro, efficiently incorporating director feedback into men's basketball video. My experience as a Radio Associate at KSKS involved exceptional organization and time management, where I handled assignments such as logline corrections, scriptwriting, and voiceovers.
With over 4,300 views on my YouTube channel, I actively produce horror, action, and comedy short films, crafting engaging stories that captivate audiences. I meticulously plan shots and angles to enhance visual storytelling and continually refine my editing skills on Adobe Premiere Pro. I have directed actors and cinematographers to bring my vision to life. Additionally, I won a video submission contest as part of the SJSU College of Humanities and Arts.
I am passionate about building a career in entertainment and media, aiming to gain comprehensive experience across all production areas. My goal is to amplify Latinx narratives and voices in the industry, contributing to a richer, more diverse entertainment landscape.
