Born and raised as a First-Gen Latina in Los Angeles, California, I specialize in film production, video editing, and entertainment marketing with an emphasis in Film & TV. Since graduating from the John F. Kennedy Film Magnet as a Filmmaking Magnet honorary, I navigated my way as a creative through The Hollywood Reporter's Women In Entertainment Mentorship program, where I became a writer's assistant at Amazon Prime to screenwriter Melissa Blake and received the SAG-AFTRA Women’s scholarship.
After completing an intensive 9-hour set-driven program with NewFilmmakersLA, I began my production assistant journey on Stage 5, a documentary series highlighting upcoming industry talent. I was then chosen to direct, edit, and produce a PSA on mental health awareness for LAUSD's official teacher training, which won first place at the Directing Change Awards.
Through NewFilmmakersLA, I was fortunate to take up space as 1 of 4 students in Stampede Ventures’ Career Readiness Intensive program in collaboration with Anderson-Paak, training and working on his directional debut, KPOPS! Collaborating and training with industry professionals, specifically Unit Publicists, on sets of such production companies like A24 and Netflix, has opened my passion for Creative marketing with an emphasis in motion picture films.
While completing my A.A in Film Studies at Santa Monica College, I became a part of Group Effort Initiative, a creative pathway launched by Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, which carved my path towards landing the pivotal role of entertainment marketer at Rideback RISE, a non-profit accelerator for mid-career POC filmmakers to make commercial entertainment and propel narrative change. At Rideback, I collaborate with writers, directors, and Creative Director April S. Chang, for company branding, strategy, and the production and management of all social platforms.
My journey as a student didn’t stop at Santa Monica College. Currently, I'm at Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film pursuing my B.A in PR, Advertising, & Entertainment Marketing.
Outside of creative marketing at Rideback RISE, I continue to indulge in developing and writing my own feature-length stories that cross my passion in Music history, while continuing to freelance video edit and photograph.
